Finally summer and almost everyone heads to the water to cool off. Unfortunately, invisible viruses, bacteria and parasites lurking in the water can spoil the fun. These villains prefer to strike between the sunbathing lawn and the toilet and can ruin your summer.

Prof. Dr. Tamara Kopp informs about illnesses from the swimming pool

Univ. Prof. Dr. Tamara Kopp explains in the magazine Medizin Populär which illnesses can result from swimming:

  • Dry skin
  • Molluscum contagiosum
  • Athlete's foot
  • Bladder infections or urinary tract infections
  • Vaginal yeast infection
  • Irritated mucous membranes and red eyes
  • Legionnaires' disease
  • Bathing dermatitis

Dr. Tamara Kopp recommends using water shoes, always changing swimwear and using dry towels on the sunbathing lawn; this already greatly reduces the risk of getting sick.
