You're a water-racistKayleigh said:Pool - no way.
Ocean is a different story.

It's no wonder that the waters are rising up !

Yes, this is right... I was told for years as a kid that public swimming pools added a chemical that would turn the pool water around you purple if you pee'd, !!! LOL. I have had it confirmed from a Chemistry professor friend that this would be almost impossible. Due to the large water volume in a pool, a huge (and possibly dangerous in high quanity) volume of a dye marker would have to be added, this would also then interact with the Chlorine in the pool and either be neutralized or would turn the entire water a funny colour requiring the pool to be drained, so it would be a very annoying thing for a pool owner to add, even if it did exist.... As for peeing in the pool, guilty as charged your honour (when I was younger) Now I am lucky enough to own a pool I do have a sign up......ElPulpo said:No, it isn't.
Kidney secretion normally is close to sterile, but bladders are not. And that's good, because every place where bacteria can live will be inhabited by bacteria sooner or later, so if there weren't nice ones in your bladder you can deal with, infections would be much more frequent.
"Contrary to medical dogma, urine is not sterile, even in asymptomatic individuals. [...] Overall, we archived and genome-sequenced 149 isolates representing 3 phyla, 7 classes, 11 orders, 23 families, 36 genera, and 78 species. [...] The largest number of isolated species was from the Gram-positive phyla Firmicutes (47.4%) and Actinobacteria (38.5%), particularly the families Streptococcaceae (11.0%), Lactobacillaceae (11.0%), Corynebacteriaceae (10.3%), and Actinomycetaceae (10.3%)."
Culturing of female bladder bacteria reveals an interconnected urogenital microbiota - Nature Communications
The female bladder seems to harbor a poorly characterized indigenous microbiota. Here, the authors isolate and genome-sequence 149 bacterial strains from catheterized urine of 77 women, generating a culture collection representing two thirds of the bacterial diversity within the samples.www.nature.com
No, it doesn't.
"The legend that public swimming pools contain a chemical that blooms purple or red when someone pees in the water is tailor-made for kids, to whom any technology involving embarrassment sounds plausible, especially coming from an adult. That plausibility is probably why many of us go on believing the idea into adulthood. There’s no such chemical, however."
