Don't catch the beach bug

One the best thing about living in Florida is the beach, according to the American Journal of Epidemiology, they found that digging in the sand raised the risk of diarrhea by 44 percent in young children — those under the age of 11. And kids who were buried in the sand were 27 percent more likely to develop diarrhea than those who weren’t.

Contamination may come from storm sewer runoff or from the feces left by domestic and wild animals. Once the germs are there, the sand provides a very friendly environment for the bugs to replicate. For more information, check your local beach EPA report.
