Most skin diseases in children from contaminated water
The skin disease resulting from bacterial septicemia caused by swimming in contaminated water primarily affects children, with an incidence rate of up to 95%. It manifests as blisters or skin rashes with peeling and is contagious, spreading from person to person. Adults, especially young adults and middle-aged individuals, can also be affected, but it is less common among them due to their stronger immunity. Experts have called for avoiding swimming in restricted areas and monitoring early symptoms to facilitate prompt treatment under medical supervision, aiming to reduce the spread of infection. Water quality monitoring results indicate that approximately 9% of Tunisian beaches are unsuitable for swimming and require improvement, with 49 monitoring points among them.
