Bacteria

You might want to be careful before you get in the water if you have outdoor weekend plans in Wisconsin. There are advisories for at least 26 beaches in the state that have recently tested positive for elevated bacteria levels.

Don't go in the water. That's the advisory that many Illinois water places currently have with many being issued after recent water tests around the state.

I grew up in the Missouri generation that lived dangerously. We drank directly out of water hoses because we were daredevils. Yes, a little sarcasm here, but it's a real concern with the upcoming 4th of July holiday weekend about the latest status of lakes and beaches in Missouri. The state has the latest bacteria test results available.
