I Had A Bilat. Lung Transplant 11 Years Ago, And
I had a bilat. lung transplant 11 years ago, and therefore l am completely immune suppressed.
I have Charcot's foot and have chronic athlete's foot. I've developed a secondary infection, very
painful, cultured as Enterococcus faecalis. Is this waterborne? My normal exercise is aerobic
swimming, my concern is if I got this from the pool, which is heated. When my foot heals, can I
go back in? Can I go in an unheated outdoor pool, clorinated, come spring? Thank you!
