Boston area people, Walden is closed today (no swimming) due to high bacteria levels. I swam there yesterday. When will the diarrhea kick in?
probably when you’re stuck in traffic.
it might, it might not. do you swallow much water when you swim?
Walden closes when the bacteria count exceeds the state park recommended limit. Remember that Kids swim here, and the park closes the pond to cover their tails in the event of an issue with a kid or person. This happens at least 2 or 3 times a summer, and usually only lasts a day (2 max).
I just walk farther down the path and jump in and go swimming, out of site of the guards and park patrol by the main beach. I have never got sick from the water. I dont swallow a lot of water, but I dont pass it out the other end either when I do swallow the bacteria infested broth!
