Avoiding water contact for 72 hours?

Why do we need to avoid water contact for 72 hours after rainfall? Is this because of the aerosol crimes!

All of the bacteria (ecoli, hep a/b) that gets washed into the water in high concentrations. It never stops me.

Yeah, not stopping me tomorrow either! 72 hours psh...

haha exactly.. i dont stop either.. but it always kinda makes me hesitant

Ahhhhh.... to be young again. It's all good until it happens, I cought a bacteria that kicked my ass for one month, needed antibiotics, had to sleep in a chair for a month just to breath. Not fun... or worth it. Sure I got to surf that weekend but had to give up 3 weekends due to the bacteria. Not sure if there is anything you can take prior to going out that will reduce your chances but good luck.

I think one thing you can do as a preventative measure is to get your Hepatitus A shots.

Bacteria or not, whenever in the sea waters there's always the chance of swallowing whale sperm.

Oh great. So not only do I have to worry about stingrays and hepatitus, I may be indirectly performing baleen phallacio. Good times.

I guess that's better than swallowing a Sperm Whale...HAHAHAHA..........never mind!

^ ha, yeh she fills these things in my head before I go out surfing all the time.
