WATERBORNE DISEASES.


o THE FAECAL ORAL ROUTE.

1 Diseases are spread by the so called "fecal-oral route" where orgasms are excreted in faces and subsequently ingested by a new host. Most waterborne pathogenic viruses, bacteria and protozoa are well adapted or growth in the intestines of humans and animals. They are found in large numbers in domestic sewage wastewater's. (Fecal Effluent's)

2 Sewage ( Wastewater) effluent is often discharged into the sea, lakes and estuaries where windsurfs, canoeists, water skiers and Scuba divers. Extensively use them. Consequently, they risk water exposure to high levels of microorganisms associated with faces. In the past, water sports were almost exclusively a summer pastime, when bacteria in sewage effluent are most exposed to solar radiation. Nowadays such sports continue throughout the winter, when bacteria survive for longer in coastal waters.

3 Sports men actively in the water are more likely to receive an effective dose of Campylobacter (500 bacteria) in the winter than in the summer. It is perhaps time for recreational waters to be monitored all year around. Swimming pools are normally treated with chlorine and are usually microbiolog-ically safe. However, there have been reports of Shigella. Giardia and Crypto.qporidiLini infections being con-tracted from swimming pools becoming contaminated by feces from children suf-fering diarrhea.

4, Waterborne diseases can also be acquired and spread by food, inadequately cooked, notoriously shellfish, such as oysters, clams, and mussels, which grow in polluted water and concentrate viruses and bacteria by their method of "filter feeding- Many parts of the world, crops grown using contaminated irrigation water. It is a widely accepted practice in recycling.

5, The symptoms often include diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain and dehydration, with the severity depending on the particular micro- organism, the extent of exposure (number of organisms in relation to the in-fectious dose) and the age and health of the victim.

6, The infectious dose of bacteria and viruses must first withstand the acid produce the stomach. They are more likely to do so if the water is consumed with food or milk which neutralize the acid and "hide" the bacteria. Vomiting occurs when the bacte-ria cause inflammation of the mucous lining of the stomach, From the stomach the bacteria enter the small intestine where they multiply in alkaline conditions and in a rich supply of nutrients. In order to initi-ate infection the bacteria must attach to epithelial cells (enterocytes) that line the villi of the small or large intestine.

At all cost. Fecal Effulent. Must never come in contact with WEB water in any way. In any manner. I have seen Some horrors that have rolled the eyes in my head that are presently being done

Just like in Sonia. Should be asting it pretty soon.

Paid your $25,00 park fee. Well ask them . Is it true. <director@stinapa.org>
