Skin Infections: It is summer season. During this time people go to bathe in the water park and swimming pool . This gives a lot of relief from the scorching heat. Swimming is also considered a good exercise. But do you know that bathing in swimming pool water can cause a lot of damage to health. Due to this, there is a risk of skin infection and fungal infection. In such a situation, you should follow a lot of caution before going to the pool.
Doctors say that chlorine is added to the swimming pool to keep the water clean. Many times it also happens that chlorine is put in excess. This can cause skin related problems. There is a risk of rashes and allergies on the skin. Some people are also at risk of tanning in the skin. If water enters the body through the nose, then bacteria related diseases can also occur. Its risk is more in children. Children who do swimming daily should take special care.
Risk of these dangerous diseases
In New Delhi AIIMS, Dr. Manali Aggarwal says that while taking a bath in the swimming pool water also enters the ear. If it remains in the ear for a long time, it can cause bacteria in the ear. Which can cause itching, pain and swelling in the ear. Even there are some bacteria that can cause pneumonia. This problem is seen more in people above the age of 50 years. Some people are also at risk of getting UTI infection.
How much chlorine should be
According to Dr. Manali, the PAH value in the water in the swimming pool should not be more than 8. If it is more than this then your skin may get damaged. In some places the pH value is taken care of, but in some places it is not so. Therefore, before going to the swimming pool, keep in mind that what is the amount of chlorine in the water there and what is the pH level. If it is more than the prescribed standard, then you should avoid bathing in such water.
Risk of fungal infection
The risk of fungal infection is very high by taking a bath in the swimming pool. Fungal infection can occur in the areas around the underarms and thighs. There is also a risk of getting this infection in other people. Fungal infection can also occur in the toes. It can start with itching and rashes.
