I use to love going to the beach in Connecticut but not anymore. The kids had go to the hospital two times over the last five years because of a terrible rash. The doctor prescribed ointment both times for what he said was a bacteria infection. The water has high levels of bacteria from bird dropping and other pollutants. I ended up getting the rash all over my legs and feet. Thank God I only went in the water up to my knees or I would have been in big trouble. This is the last time I go to a beach in Long Island Sound. You could see the difference in the water as you move farther away from the Sound.

The water has high levels of bacteria from bird dropping and other pollutants. >>>

I would say it's more from bird, animal and pet droppings, most states have mandated waste-water treatment plants and the droppings are a result from hysterical democrats who worship animals, the geese should be shot dead and not listed as an endangered species, we are endangered by the e coli bacteria from their crap.
