Pink eye from 4 Mile beach, Santa Cruz
08:43 Apr 19 2016 Four Mile Beach, Ohlone Bluff Trail, Westside, Gordola, Santa Cruz County, California, 95064, USA
Description
I woke up this morning with pink eye, after surfing at 4 Mile yesterday evening. I haven't observed anyone in my presence with (possible) pink eye for weeks. Therefore, the ocean seems like the only likely culprit. Bummed . . . and disgusted.Additional Data
