*A study of 800 surfaces tested in San Francisco, Chicago and Arizona showed that one-
fifth was contaminated with mucus, blood, urine, sweat or saliva. These bodily fluids
carry viruses and bacteria, including E.coli, salmonella and staphylococcus that can lead to
the flu, herpes, diarrhea, hepatitis A and skin infections.
A significant number of children report symptoms of illness 5 to 10 days after exposure
to the average playground. The children who play within these contaminated areas are at a
great risk of acquiring infectious diseases.
