Occupational hazard. I doubt if Bear Grylls actually likes drinking water he squeezed from elephant feces, and I am pretty sure he gets a full medical after each episode.
The river I row on in Brisbane (recreational, non competitive) has Olympian and ex olympians in training. It's fecal coliform count is shocking, fellow rowers have been on intravenous antibiotics with serious discussion of amputation in the past. It's not called "the brown snake" for nothing.
Thames rowers are complaining of illness too.
Some of them may fall ill. Worst case they pick another venue.
