Water Illnesses and Water Safety
Nothing can ruin a vacation quicker than getting ill or having a child fall ill. Every year thousands fall ill with RWIs (Recreational Water Illnesses). These RWIs are cause by swallowing water in swimming pools, water parks, hot tubs, rivers, lakes, and even open bodies of water like the Gulf of Mexico. Anywhere people swim, RWIs can be found and can cause infections of the eyes, skin, ears, intestines and lungs.
