We have two sets of organs designed to filter shit we consume out of us, and in quantities less than a certain amount, whatever it is isn’t noticeable. Also, chemicals used in public pools are designed to neutralize things like that. If the water isn’t noticeably tinged, you won’t even know the difference.

Unfortunate in the sense that it just feels kind of gross is all I mean :). Of course this stuff is unlikely to cause any physical harm to somebody.

That’s fair. I wasn’t trying to poke at you, it’s just one of the things that fascinates me. The dose always makes the poison, for everything from arsenic to water itself.

Yep! Hell, there’s probably a non-zero amount of arsenic in any pool…
