Agreed

please...just...stop.

That's a little over-the-top. One minor incident should not result in someone quitting their job. Sure it's gross, but it's no like this is an everyday occurance.

Summer jobs like lifeguarding only last a little while. And "sanitation" isn't really the main issue here. It's gross, yeah. But there's really very little chance of infection when you're fishing turds out of a pool.

Water parks have closed down rides for similar things so they can really clean the pool. If any of the kids have recently been vaccinated, there is a good chance of getting sick. Not to mention hepatitis. A McDonald's near me once spread hepatitis because an employee didn't wash his hands. Turned into a if you ate there get shots on the news thing. Yeah, getting sick is rare from it, but it can happen. Unfortunately, some jobs have the nice benefit of cleaning up after customers. My mom had to clean some of the most disgusting things out of dressing rooms. But feces does spread illness. My doc has me avoiding public pools and such since I've been put on immune suppressants. Probably over reaction, but it is not like I've ever had the strongest immune system to begin with. She falls under the rather safe then sorry camp.

#54 True. If the levels of E.coli in a pool is higher than permitted by law, it is considered a health hazard and the pool has to be closed till the cleaning/chemical treatment of the water takes the level of coliforms back to what is considered acceptable by law or public health standards.

What about the other people that weren't involved? They shouldn't have to swim in the kid's shit..

Unless it was the squirty, runny kind of pewp....
