This guy could have caught some strain of a std. We are talking about Boca Chica. If this guy gets a std do you think he will let people know that he got one? I doubt it.

I didn't realize you had a home there and certainly did not want to offend you in any manner.
You know that I'm not an environment expert, nor am I well informed on South coast matters.
Here's a brief of my info.
I used to travel through San Pedro De Macoris, 2 or 3 times per week, and would almost gag at the smell of the water while crossing the bridge.
Some odd 8 years ago, I was waiting for an early morning coffee on the main street in Boca Chica, before hitting the road for Sosua.
I picked up a newspaper on the counter, and found a story quoting government warnings about swimming there.
A variety of skin diseases had been mentioned, including genital diseases.
I jokingly said to the restaurant owner, a middle aged Dominican, that the article couldn't be good for business, and he replied that he hadn't and wouldn't stick his big toe in that water for the last 5 years.
As I am aware of the current going from East to West, I always assumed that the pollution came from the SPDM port.
That is the extent of my knowledge.
I believe that someone recently hinted that things have improved, although I have no actual data.
As you live and swim there, you would surely be more updated on the status of the water, than I am.
