Or if you digest any of it there can be ALOT of problems, secondly if u come in contact with any contaminants along the lines of a virus or a disease it can infect you via inhalation, digestion, skin tears, or through the eye. Not only that you could go septic fairly quickly if you were to get cut while in that water, the overflow of toxin and bacteria can be fatal.
