Description
My whole family got really sick after swimming in the water in Ocean City, Maryland. We should have listened to the EPA warning about high levels of bactria and fecal matter in the water. We also went swimming after a 12 hour heavy rain storm, which apparently also raises bacteria levels. It started wity niece vomiting, then my brother and Dad got diarrhea for 3 days, and finally a day after we got home I came down with a bad throat, nose, and head cold I’ve been fighting for three days.Additional Data
