Beach Sand Can Make You Sick - Polidicks

[quote]MYFOXNY.COM - A beautiful beach weekend could be ahead, but as your kids are playing in the sand you may want to consider what researchers have dug up. If your child comes down with a belly ache after a day at the beach, it could be the sand making them sick. A study by the Environmental Protection Agency and the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill says building castles in the sand builds the chances of gastrointestinal and respiratory illnesses, rashes, and eye and ear ailments: 13 percent of sand diggers had upset stomachs, 23 percent who buried themselves in the sand got sick. But doctors say take the study with a grain of sand, so to speak, because millions of people play at beaches and very few get sick. The illnesses apparently come from waste in the sand. Beaches closer to sewage discharge pipes are dirtiest. Health officials don't test sand the way they test water, so there are no standards for clean sand. That is why doctors say teach your kids to wash their hands after playing in the sand the way they would after playing on any other dirty surface.[/quote] :foxnews: [url=http://www.myfoxny.com/dpp/news/national/090710_Beach_Sand_Sick]Source[/url] i don't know whether i should take this seriously.

Makes sense. I don't see why you'd think it's "FOX NEWS!!11 eVIL REPULIBCANS R LIRARS AND STUPINDD!!!!111" They say take it with a grain of sand, so I don't understand why anyone would think they're forcing this on us. And my stomach hurt after I went to the beach in Flordia once when I was like 9.

Sand terrorists.

They are right though!

Who pissed in the sand?

[QUOTE=TheForeigner;16053873]Who pissed in the sand?[/QUOTE] Everything has.

Is it just me, or is EVERY FUCKING THING dangerous nowadays?

Welcome to life!

Surprise surprise, a giant nature made sandfilter contains elements of our own waste.

Sand gives you swine flu because it's said by fox.

Oh yeah? Well fuck you because swearing releases fucking pain, [highlight][i]ARRRGHGHHH[/i][/highlight]

Fox News, annoying new parents.

Damn towelheads; need to stay on their own sand and stop fucking up ours.

Well shovelling it in you ain't got the most positive effects on your body but..

Don't step on the sand, it makes the antlions crazy.

It's probably from all the polution

Lived in florida most of my life, most I got from going to the beach almost everyday was shells, sand in my crotch and the taste of salt in my mouth. Never got ill...

[QUOTE=KillerTele;16053881]Is it just me, or is EVERY FUCKING THING dangerous nowadays?[/QUOTE] If you look hard enough, you can find sensationalist news in everything. SODA, IS IT A GATEWAY DRUG TO GETTING HIT BY CARS? Thanks to information released by the Department of Motor Vehicles, we found that the number of people hit by a car while drinking Pepsi brand cola spiked to epidemic proportions (The deaths spiked, not the drink); from ten to fifteen, a 33 percent increase over last year. This doctor recommends switching to a less death-prone beverage. Loganberry!

So if I eat a tomato with arsenic, will Fox go around yelling tomatoes are deadly?

The EPA needs to go get bent

It might be helpful if the kids weren't eating the sand and then saying they didn't

Breaking news - oxygen is bad for you. So stop Breathing

Everything is bad for you, should just kill yourselves to make sure.

I rate daoplu agree. Save the world, kill yourselves.

This just in, studies from scientist at Harvard Medical have confirmed LIVING, yes that's right the act of being alive increases the chance of cancer.

I go to the beach all the time, this doesn't sound too plausible:foxnews:
