It’s one of the things that we test for every month when we take water samples into the lab, we’re testing for pseudomonas. There are a lot of reported cases of at each year in all sorts of different avenues, and that’s why you see a tested for a lot as well.

Pseudomonas just exists in most water sources and supplies and just not inn nearly high enough concentrations to worry about.Īshkahn: But yeah, it can give you illness and skin infections and other things like that. Graham: And it’s everywhere, it’s pretty much everywhere. But normally, it’s a rash that you get from going into a hot tub with other people and it not being the best environment.Īshkahn: And you see it around them a lot because it really just is one of the most common illnesses that comes from kind of recreational water. Likes warmer water, skin irritant and apparently can also cause some other problems, which we’ll get into a little further down describing this, which I wasn’t even aware of until this study. Graham: And it’s also just called hot tub rash, it’s kind of its nickname. It’s also one of the ones that we used for our NSF study with just pure saltwater to see how that would affect different organisms. It’s often one of the test bacteria that gets used for different studies. You might recognize it actually, if you’ve been on top of water sanitation research that’s happened. Graham: So pseudomonas, we should talk about a little bit before we get too deep into other things.
So it is interesting to see that we do actually have a case of that. I mean it’s been, for the entire history of the float industry going on, that this has yet to happen. Graham: Other than throwing up but not actually getting sick with-Īshkahn: So this is the first time a health authority has actually found a case of someone from a commercial float facility and linked an illness to it. Graham: Yeah, first reported case of someone getting sick of any type.Īshkahn: The first time an actual like health authority. This is-Īshkahn: This is, as far as we know, the first actual kind of case of someone getting sick. When did things go so wrong, is the question.Īshkahn: Well, maybe some context first. So that’s, yeah, that’s about how you should feel-Īshkahn: Hopefully, that added some drama to this whole episode here. Graham: Hold on, let me just look it up really quick. Graham: So, there was a paper that got published up in British Columbia on a case of pseudomonas that was found both in and probably caused by a float tank, which is really interesting.Īshkahn: Yeah, it does seem like someone out there got sick from a float tank and that’s where we can put that dun dun dun sound effect that we have. It took us a little bit to get over here, but we’re here now. Graham: Yep, fresh off the presses from June 28th.Īshkahn: Yeah. What’s going on out there in the world?Īshkahn: This news has just broken and this was, we were reporting on it here. There’s a lot to be stoked on, and we have some information to share too.Īshkahn: Yeah. This is probably the real world and not just some weird simulation. Like we hold you all so close-Īshkahn: And we have pictures of you all around this room, so I keep getting that confused, but yeah.
Graham: We’ve gone over this a few times-Īshkahn: I know, I forget. We’re doing a real live … I mean man, like this is going to be new information.
