...Stay safe while enjoying Rock Creek Park! Swimming and wading are not allowed due to high bacteria levels.Stay out of the water to protect streambanks, plants and animals and keep you and your family (including pets!) safe from illness.Rock Creek has high levels of bacteria and other infectious pathogens that make swimming, wading, and other contact with the water a hazard to human (and pet) health. Please protect yourself and your pooches by staying on trails and out of the creek. All District waterways are subject to a swim ban - this means wading, too!...
I guess if you believe in the 'theory' that germs don't make you sick then 'facts' about germs don't really matter.
Right?

OK, I wonder what is leaching into the creek to make it so septic?
My guess would be corporate rainbows and unicorns!
My guess is fecal coliform. Not something I'd want to swim in, but then my immune system is not as manly and rugged as RFK Jr's.
Cap is the winner of the (hopefully) salmonella-free chicken dinner:
..."A 12-month monitoring study of Rock Creek was undertaken to investigate the likely source of fecal coliform contamination."...

Fecal coliform you say? That translates into raw sewerage - must be close to the White House.
Swimming in that stuff could cause a parasitic infection to the brain, or is the effect of one.
I know just the place for RFK, Trout Lake! or how about an In Seine triathlon!
Time to start writing up another grant app.
