So just picked up a kidney infection – been swimming a bit last week in the sea while having a cold – don’t know if there is any relationship or if I should just blame my local pool again.
Luckily it wasn’t as bad as 2 years ago when I got sepsis in my foot after swimming in a (clean-ish) harbour with an open blister wound
Just checking if anyone have any other frequent reoccurring stuff - as there is plenty of ecoli (and what have you) out there in our coastal waters...

river swimming risk post lepto
thanks - searched for infections....
I got giardiasis once during august after taking a surf at a local wedge wave that is at the mouth of a river. The week was bone dry so when it rained for 2 days the run off was obvious by the colour and the smell, it smelt like rotting fish. I fell ill 2 days later and remained in bed for the rest of the week too tired to get up.
