Turns out Californias beaches are just like their voters. Toxic, full of shit, and if you are around them too much you'll get sick.
Over the last couple years over 1,000 navy seals have gotten sick from swimming in San Diego beach water.

California's Contaminated Ocean Sparks Health Concerns for Navy SEALs

Hundreds of Navy SEAL candidates became sick within a week of being exposed to contaminated ocean water at the Naval Amphibious Base (NAB) in Coronado, California, a report from the U.S. Department of Defense Inspector General found.

Why It Matters
Multiple times over the past six years, San Diego County's Beach and Bay Water Quality Program has issued beach closures for beaches near NAB Coronado after water testing revealed the presence of fecal indicator bacteria that exceeded safety limits in the ocean water. The county tests for the bacteria because "these bacteria are scientifically known to indicate the presence of other bacteria or viruses."

Exposure to contaminated water could cause acute gastrointestinal illnesses, such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

What to Know
Between January 2019 and May 2023, 1,168 cases of acute gastrointestinal illness were reported among Navy SEAL and Special Warfare Combat Crewman candidates at NAB Coronado, the inspector general report found. Of those, 457 were diagnosed within a week of being exposed to ocean water that was contaminated by bacteria that exceeded state limits.

Testing completed at a beach north of NAB Coronado between February 2024 and September 2024 found that bacteria in the water exceeded state safety levels 76 percent of the time. However, the U.S. Navy only relocated 12 Navy Seal candidate water training events of the scheduled 265 events during that same time, the report found.
