Seventy beaches are closed for swimming after heavy rains caused bacteria levels to rise in the water.
State officials required locales to post"no swimming" signs at the affected beaches.
The unsafe bacteria levels came days after heavy rains in Massachusetts. It is not uncommon for bacteria and human waste levels to rise on beaches after periods of heavy rain. "Swimming or ingesting contaminated water could result in symptoms like nausea, diarrhea, stomach cramps, chills or fever," the city of Revere said after closing its beach."If you are concerned about your potential exposure to contaminated water when signage is posted, please contact your healthcare provider.
