Can drinking to much pool water change you stool colour?

Answer 1

yes , drinking a lot of pool water may change the colour of your stool.

this is due to the amount of chlorine present in the water to kill germs .

it is good in a way and also harmful in a way .therefore pool water not

very safe if drunk in a large quantity.

That answer couldn't be further from the truth. The amount of chlorinated water you would have to drink would be substantial! Chlorine would act like a bleach... If you had enough in your system to change the color of your stool, then you would demonstrate other symptoms that would suggest poisoning. The parts per million concentration of chlorine at it's highest acceptable levels in public pools, would create a scenario where you would have to drink your body weight in pool water before it would begin to become harmful. The above answer is how ignorant urban legends begin.
