The CDC tweeted out a warning about not swimming if you have diarrhea, but all anyone can focus on is the GIF they used. A cartoon shows a little girl going down a water slide and something… ‘chocolatey’ following her’ (hint: it’s not chocolate.. Ewww). Just in case the message was lost, the CDC says it takes just one sick person to contaminate an entire pool. We can see that, CDC! We have the tweet below.
Don’t swim or let your kids swim if sick with diarrhea. One person with diarrhea can contaminate the entire pool. Learn more ways to keep you and those you care about healthy. #HealthySwimming https://t.co/3ogS3ZlQX6 pic.twitter.com/lbN6uvvufu
