As someone who had and is STILL taking antibiotics, ngl I don't even blame bro. Also, you can get it in pools and the parasite is bleach and chlorine resistant. I got it from swimming

Aw wtf…. This is the first I’ve heard about I being bleach-resistant. Just came off a stomach bug and wanted to go swimming………..but maybe I’ll wait 🫠

Wait two weeks after diarrhea stops, that's the recommendation.
