upper respiratory illness after surfing venice breakwater
01:44 Aug 28 2013 Venice Breakwater
Description
I went surfing at the Venice Breakwater on Monday and Tuesday (8/26 and 8/27) and now I suspect have an upper respiratory illness and/or sinus infection. I wiped out pretty badly and swallowed a mouthful of ocean water. I suspect the illness is due to water pollution.Additional Data
