Description
I noticed in Downtown Long Beach, CA that the ocean water has been very polluted with lots of trash (bottles, latex gloves, etc.). I decided to swim closer to Belmont Pier but still became nauseous after getting out of the water, and have had a puffy face since then. I have been better since I stayed away from the water.Additional Data
