Study: CDC reveals swimming pool illness outbreak

According to a recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, over 27,000 people got sick or died from pool-related infections between 2000 and 2014.

The study says most people get sick from the parasite Crypto, which is tough enough to survive even properly maintained pools.

"It’s just the same aspect as drinking pond water," said the Ashton Group Business Owner, Joe Ashton. 

"If you were to drink pond water, you’re certainly going to get sick from that and get infections and you could potentially get sick from that," said Ashton.

The study also says hotel resort pools across the country are suffering the most.

"Pools and spas have to circulate for a certain amount of time throughout the day in order to keep things clean," Ashton said. 

"Inadequate chlorine levels can increase overall algae build up and things of that nature and in return you could have insect problems, you can start to get mosquitos and frogs and even the dreaded snakes in your pool." 

However, the CDC says that chlorine cannot kill certain parasites quickly causing diarrhea, stomach cramps and even vomiting.
