  When you thought land was safe you might have to think again. Recent studies have shown that if you have dug, have been buried, or have played in the sand for a good amount of time at a beach that you are at a high risk to have some form of gastrointestinal illness. With symptoms like diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, and/or stomach aches.University North Carolina of Chapel Hill and John Hopkins have found that people are getting sick from the fecal bacteria that has been spread through out beaches that would promote the sickness. These Universities have said that it isn't bad enough to make you really sick, and shouldn't stop you from having a good time at the beach. So kids remember to wash your hands after your done at the beach, unless of course you like diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, and/or stomach aches.
