Bathing in a river or lake can result in treatment of intestinal infection, therapists warned. In addition, in natural water bodies, parasites often live, which are not at all opposed to pestering a person.

Summer bathing often ends with diseases that are caused by microorganisms. Scientists put lambliasis on the first place, VladTime reported. Lamblias parasitize the liver and intestines, and they can penetrate into the body if you accidentally swallow contaminated water while bathing.

Also, unintentionally swallowed water can become rotoviruses, hepatitis A and E, doctors warned..

They noted that many diseases that arise from swimming in a dirty river or lake have the same symptoms.

"Dysentery, salmonellosis, and escherichiosis are different diseases with different pathogens, but with similar symptoms as a whole: diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea and fever," the therapists said..

Some species of parasitic organisms, according to them, fall into water bodies from animals or birds.

For example, a dangerous bacterial infection is leptospirosis, affecting the liver and kidneys and carried by animals.

On waterfowl, in turn, parasites can live - schistosomes, whose larvae in water cling to a person. In this case, you can get infected with the so-called bather itch.

There are such parasites - schistosomes that live in water birds. Their larvae are called cercariae, and they do not mind sticking to a person.
