E. coli levels are up at beaches around Iowa.

oh- I had a dirty mind when I saw this thread title, I thought it was going to be an article in regards to a sexual activity.

i thought the same thing....

I didnt read the article, (my sister told me about it, but apparently th have been closing Galveston beaches beacuse of the elevated levels of Hepatitis C in the water. Nice. Texas beaches are phuckign nasty. If its not disease, its globs of tar from offshore refineries or accidents, nto to mention the nasty brown mucky color of the water. If texas could have beaches like florida or the carribiean, it would rock all the much more.

hepatitis c in the WATER?!?!

holy geez......that's scary! :eek:

No baby, thats not scary, thats Houston.

I'm suprised thats all they found there in the water.
