BEIJING (Reuters) - Beijing's booming hot spring resorts have been ordered to raise hygiene standards after health inspectors found two-thirds of them failed bacteria tests in the first inspection of its kind, state media said on Wednesday. The city health bureau took water samples from 22 resorts and just 27.3 percent passed the bacteria standards, the Xinhua news agency reported. The tests detected "no bacteria that are hazardous to human health," said Cai Changjing, head of the publicity office under the Beijing Health Supervision Institution, but the bureau advised visitors to take showers before and after bathing. "So far, we have received no reports of people falling ill because of bathing in hot springs," Cai said. Hot spring resorts, mostly in Beijing's outskirts, have become popular venues for meetings and family gatherings on holidays. http://uk.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUKT13688820070613?feedType=RSS
Lol! If u don't know about it, it won't hurt u... but now that I know, hell no I'm not getting into those waters haha! Even if it doesn't make u feel sick.. it still feels dirty?
^nah, ive been to hot spring in china, and the water and place are pretty clean and nice didnt feel ill at all
why does this not surprise me... I hate hearing bad things about China. If it wasn't such a huge nation with 1.3 billion people, it would be so much easier to regulate things.
Where the bacterias are from? From human body? Becoz of too much people in the hot spring? And I wonder what will happen to those fishes downstream.....
thats not what i heard. i heard its pretty dirty and stuff like that. but i have only been to china once for 5 days only and im not Surprise they dont pass the test after what i have seen over there. but i think it depends on cities.
