SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA RAINFALL AND WATER CONTAMINATION

72 Hour Advisory:California State Health agencies recommend not to swim or surf 72 hours after rainfall due to coastal watersPolluted from urban runoff. Sewage or leaking pipes may be contributable factors. High concentrations fo bacteria may be present. Waters that are polluted may contain several different disease-causing organisms, commonly called pathogens. Enteric pathogens -- those that live in the human intestine - can carry or cause a number of infectious diseases. Swimmers in sewage-polluted water (or even just "normal" urban runoff) could contract any illness that is spread by migration and inadvertent ingestion of fecal-contaminated water. (AIDS and many other diseases are not carried by enteric pathogens.)

Viruses are believed to be a major cause of swimming-associated diseases, and are responsible for many cases of gastroenteritis, hepatitis, respiratory illness, and ear, nose, and throat problems. Gastroenteritis (commonly referred to as "stomach flu") , which can also be caused by bacteria, is a common term for a variety of diseases that can cause symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, stomach ache, nausea, headache, and fever. Other microbial diseases that can be contracted by swimmers include salmonellosis, shigellosis, and infection caused by E. coli (a type of enteric pathogen). Other microbial pathogens found at varying concentrations in recreational waters include amoeba and protozoa, which can cause giardiasis, amoebic dysentery, skin rashes, and pink eye.

Toxic cocktail is a combination of pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals and pollutants that may be in the water after a significant rainfall. Reference: http://www.nrdc.org/water/oceans/ttw/default.asp
