Sick from Folly Beach

05:33 Aug 20 2017 Folly Beach, Charleston County, South Carolina, 29439, USA

Description
My family and I were vacationing in South Carolina this week. We webt to Folly Beach yesterday afternoon. The waves were pretty big, and I accidentally swallowed some ocean water; which I rarely do. Within hours, my throat was sore, nose was runny, and I had an overall lethargic feeling. I'm going to make a doctors appt tomorrow for I believe I need an antibiotic for whatever bacterial infection I must have picked up. After doig some research, I sed that Folly had high levels of bacteria detected. I wish signs were posted, I had no idea yesterday.
