horourke - Sep, 21 2011 07:09am very frightening picture. This is marks an important difference between being a traveler and merely a tourist. krisek - Sep, 21 2011 01:09pm An important source of infections? What do you mean by that? I am not sure if I get it... raizman - Sep, 21 2011 02:09pm Water is contaminated with whatever you just imagine, while bathing they often ingest the water, and here you go! krisek - Sep, 21 2011 02:09pm Oh, I see. I'm sorry, I misunderstood the intention. I guess you meant 'notorious source' ;)
