Ive never heard any reports of illness, just dont drink the water.

A properly cared for and cleaned pool has enough chlorine in it to kill the bacteria that may cause harm.

The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough.

Have you ever swam in a public swimming pool with a bunch of toddlers? They're pretty shameless about pissing and farting in the pool. If that hasn't killed you, well then I think you can deal with a little duck crap.

It is just a little duck crap, right?

Dear cautious, Do you have a pool man? If not, the people at the place where you buy your pool chemicals should be able to tell you if you need to shock your pool. A youngun' pooped the condo pool in Fla. and they closed the pool for 24 hrs. I dont think duck poo is good for you and your unborn child.

Most doctors agree that duck shit (except hooded mergansers and buffleheads) in moderation is healthy for the mother and baby.

I know farmers who have problems where canadian geese are crowding the banks around stock ponds. The runoff from the manure gets into the stock pond and makes the cattle sick. A couple of turdlets, the clorine ought to handle it. A cornushitopia is a different matter. I know you said ducks but shit soup is shit soup. You have to be the judge of what is tolerable.

Careful, swimming in that water or asking more of this kind of question can lead to brain damage.

Question for the writer: If you have seen the flock of ducks why not call the zoo or the WILDLIFE and Fisheries Dept. It is not the ducks' fault that your cement pond is their watering hole of choice. They are just doing what ducks do. Really call the zoo or some such to help you. I guarantee if you ask your OB/GYN about swimming amidst duck doo doo, he would tell it is UNSANITARY and a health hazzzard to you and yours.

I never swam in a pool until I was an adult, as a child I swam in either the Cumberland river or one of its tributaries Mansker's creek. I have a sneaking suspicion that all manner of mammals, reptiles, amphibians, avians, fish, and an occasional human dropped a load in both these waterways. I was a healthy robust child who required the attention of a physician only occasionally.

What the hell is a zoo going to do about ducks in a pool? They might tell you to call a pool cleaner.

Just put one or two gators in the pool. That'll take care of the ducks and any stray toddlers.

I might add, "and the occasional adult appendage or two."
