1. Antibiotic resistance
The skin is the largest organ in the human body, it helps protect against various foreign substances such as pathogens, radiation and xenobiotics. Swimming in the sea can help remove normal bacteria from the skin, but at the same time deposit diverse ocean bacteria in the skin, leading to antibiotic resistance genes, in which bacteria are more resistant to antibiotics and make them more difficult to treat. This leads to an increased risk of skin infections due to the reduced effectiveness of antibiotics.
2. Facial deposits
Along with harmful bacteria in the ocean, there is also a lot of feces in the ocean created by wastewater and excretion from aquatic animals. These fertilizers stay on the skin after soaking in the sea and can spread and cause infection if left longer. This makes swimming after swimming at sea important.
3. Risk of serious illnesses
Many studies around the world have reported that people who swam at sea had to be hospitalized a few days later. The main cause is an infestation of the foot-and-mouth disease infected with rare bacteria, also known as anorexia carnicola. Bacteria enter the body through cuts or open wounds on the skin and affect the blood, leading to serious tissue damage and conditions such as organ failure.
