FECAL BACTERIA FOUND IN DRINKS AT EUROPEAN RESORTS

LONDON (Wireless Flash) – “Sacre poo!” When it comes to fecal contamination of drinking water in European resort hotels and bars, the city of Biarritz, France, wipes away the competition. According to a study done by the British travel magazine, Holiday Which?, nearly a third of Biarritz water samples tested were dubiously dirty. In fact, one ice cube sample taken from a hotel in the nearby area, was so “crappy” that magazine microbiologists noted, “The waiter must have wiped his bottom with those ice cubes.” On the other hand, the cleanest drinking water comes from the Costa Del Sol in Spain – but even that “agua” leaves something to be desired. Seven of the 22 ice cube samples taken from there were potentially harmful, and three samples contained fecal bacteria.
