But if hotel pools are 1/3 of all pool exposure for the general population, them being the cause of 1/3 the illness is to be expected. Without some correlating data this is not surprising or that informative. Any pool with more elderly, casual swimmer and children as opposed to people exercising will contain more types of bacterial flora/fauna and more types of lotion chemicals.
