Disgusting & Unsafe: Majority of Texas Beaches Too Poop-Ridden For Swimming

A recent study (2022) found that 55 of 61 Texas beaches have unsafe levels of
"fecal contamination." That means that many Texans seeking a summer beach
vacation could get very sick when taking a dip.
> Researchers found that 90% of Texas beaches tested last year had the
> possibility of making swimmers sick because of fecal contaminants.

Are you wondering where to avoid? We will look at the worst Texas beaches for
fecal bacteria, but first, let's take a look at why our beaches are so literally
crappy, and what post-swim symptoms should cause you concern.
unsplash.com with edits
Let relief wash over you to know that Texans aren't just serial beach poopers.
Most of the fecal bacteria are the result of agricultural run-off. In other
words, it's cow poop. That doesn't make it much safer for a swim.
Getting in the water means you'll likely ingest some of it whether you get some
in your mouth, in your eyes, or in some little cut or scrape. Kids, pregnant
people, and folks with health problems or who take medications that lower their
ability to fight infection are more at risk of water-borne illness, according to
the CDC.
Symptoms that should cause you concern are vomiting and diarrhea- which could be
a sign of E. Coli, Giardia, or another dangerous bacteria. Skin rashes and
respiratory problems are also signs of potentially dangerous infections. If
these happen after a beach swim, you need to see a medical professional asap.
So which beaches are the worst?
> Most of the contaminated beaches were located in the Corpus Christi and
> Galveston areas, according to the analysis.
The top three worst beaches were Cole Park, Ropes Park, and Poenisch Park, all
of which are Corpus Christi beaches.
Your best bet for a clean swimming experience? South Padre is the place to go.

Black Tea Bath

BLACK TEA BATH
Steep several black tea bags in a tub of lukewarm water. Soak for 30 minutes and
air dry.
Dermaplast/Solarcaine/Any spray that numbs your skin
Amazon via Dermaplast Store
DERMAPLAST/SOLARCAINE/ANY SPRAY THAT NUMBS YOUR SKIN
You can find these types of products in most stores. Read the instructions and
do your research.
Apple Cider Vinegar Bath

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR BATH
Run your water as hot as you can stand pour equal parts of apple cider vinegar
into the bath and soak for 30 minutes. This helps draw the heat out of the burn.
Vinegar T-Shirt

VINEGAR T-SHIRT
Mix 1 part white vinegar or apple cider vinegar with 3 parts water in a
container. Take a T-shirt and soak it in the mixture. Wring out the shirt and
wear it until it dries. You could also use rags and just place them on the
burns.
Yellow Mustard

YELLOW MUSTARD
Rub the good old plain yellow mustard on the burn and let it set. It will help
draw the heat out of the burn.
Aloe Vera
Vladimir Nenov
ALOE VERA
Rub aloe vera gel all over the burn multiple times per day. Aloe direct from the
plant works best, but the store-bought gel is good as well. Oh and for even more
relief keep it in the refrigerator. The cold aloe feels so good on a burn.
Pain Medications

PAIN MEDICATIONS
Alternate acetaminophen and Ibuprofen to ease the pain and swelling.
Onions

ONIONS
Cut an onion in half and rub it on your sunburn. It's supposed to pull the heat
out of the injured area. But be prepared to smell like an onion until you take a
shower.
Shaving Cream
Amazon via Barbasol
SHAVING CREAM
Get the cheap aloe foaming shaving cream (think Barbasol) and slather that all
over your sunburn, it's supposed to pull the heat out and make your skin feel
better.
Buttermilk
Amazon via Organic Valley Store
BUTTERMILK
Rub or pour buttermilk over your burns. It'll help pull the heat out and help
with peeling.
