Life’s a cat box

No use worrying about it now, but… the sand at your local beach is loaded with fecal bacteria. Same beach as before, but some scientist had to ruin it by testing the sand.
Stupid new health regulations in 3…2…1…

YUCK! Thanks Bob, just what we needed to know at lunch time!
Just another reason to have them sift the sand like some resorts (very pricey ones) do. Treat the beach like a gigantic litter box and have it raked out every month or two and use an antibacterial to take care of those pesky microbes! ;^)

Yikes, I hope I don’t have any of that nasty stuff in my bathroom! ;-p

Ya know, we have been dealing with sand at beaches for eons without major problems; even eating a bit of it as children.
Unless you’re Bubble Boy, or have a REALLY COMPROMISED immune system, why sweat it? Just wash your hands after you build that sand castle!
Don’t the members of the scientific community have other fish to fry?
