Warning to beach goers as superbug is discovered at two beaches




Although the weather is awful this week, some people are still surfing and wind surfing.

Warnings have been issued for two Irish beaches after a powerful superbug has been detected.

According to The Mirror, Galway researchers claim that the discovery of NDM enzyme is the first time it has been found in bathing water in Europe.

The two beaches that have been confirmed to be contaminated have not been revealed officially yet but are said to both be in County Galway.

The main problem is that the contamination is predominantly found in sewage and thus anywhere sewage is released, there could be a detectable contamination.
