The bacteria will spread if people miss something that comes in contact with the patient's waste.
Cryptosporidium is a genus of apicomplexa protozoan that can cause respiratory and digestive disease (cryptosporidiosis), mainly associated with diarrhea.
Specifically, this bacterium will spread if people miss something that comes in contact with the patient's waste (such as pool water).
Crypto is difficult to destroy because they still exist in chlorine and other disinfectants in swimming pools.
Therefore, experts recommend that everyone bathe before entering the pool and absolutely do not swim when diarrhea has occurred to avoid spreading the Crypto bacteria.
2. Same as eating brain
Symptoms of this attack are to cause patients with headache, stiff neck and vomiting .
With the scientific name Naegleria fowleri, this is a single-celled amoeba living in warm freshwater environments such as lakes, rivers and hot springs or soils .
Naegleria fowleri often enters the human body through the nasal passages when the victim dives in infected areas of rivers and lakes - this amoeba will gradually move to the brain.
The symptoms of this attack are to cause the patient to experience headaches, stiff neck and vomiting . More severe than the victim will fall into a coma and die after about 5 days.
3. Pseudomonas bacteria
Pseudomonas can cause nail fungus.
It is true that boiling water is possible but warm water is difficult to defeat bacteria.
Moreover, the bacterium called Pseudomonas - rod-shaped, formed in hair follicles, causes a rash on this skin to thrive in warm water, especially a heated swimming pool.
Bacteria can penetrate the ear canal, nails . causing pain, itching.
Bacteria that can enter the ear canal, nail . cause pain, itching, so you need to be careful to clean yourself after swimming.

Through research, this bacterium thrives at a temperature of 30 - 37 degrees Celsius, stalling at about 40-45 degrees Celsius and is only knocked down at temperatures above 70 degrees C.
Potentially this pathogen is an area of humidity such as hotel baths, swimming pools, air conditioning systems .
This is an infectious disease, but does not spread from person to person. However, symptoms such as fever, loss of appetite, headache, mild cough . are easy to make many people subjective, just think is common disease.
