Do ducks in a swimming pool, (POOP) cause any health problems?


Answers:
if they are wild ducks and swimmin and poopin in ur pool then they could have many diseases and dont count on the chlorine killing every disease, if it was that good they wouldnt have had to drain our public pool 4 times from a phantom pooper makin a deposit in the middle of the night on several occasions
for you and them it will ducks normally swim away from their waste not much room to do that in a pool. anythime you are around waste the droplets are not good to be breathed or topically all over you.
No, chlorine kills the bad stuff.
They cause more of a mess then anything! In the pool the chlorine will kill the bacteria however the feathers and large amounts of feces can clog your filtration system. That is if you are using them. If you have a shallow kiddie pool yes you need to disinfect it before anyone goes in!. You will also need to clean well around the pool. Ducks poop as they walk!
I try to not swim in POOP.
It is a bit messy but other than that as long as you are not eating it (obviously) it doesn't hurt a thing.
