I'm sure I'm gonna all the obvious pollution-related answers for this question, but I'm wondering if anyone has at all? The locals seem to love to take a dip in the various lakes and rivers here (though I'm sure they're oblivious to the risks) but what about you guys? Ever done it? Lived to tell the tale?
I dipped my hand in the Li River, nothing happened, still have the hand.
The locals are also dying of cancer and an increasing rate. I would stay out of the water almost anywhere in this country. Do not even want to dip my feet in the South China Sea
No. I have too much respect for my body (despite it's outward appearance) to risk immersing it in water that could possibly harm it more.
