Warning to Scots heading to England on holiday as dirtiest beaches to swim in revealed

Holidaymakers who travel to England for a coastal getaway are being urged to steer clear of certain beach waters that have been polluted by sewage.

While the country is home to many beautiful beaches, there are 22 where swimming should be avoided, due to high levels that could make swimming dangerous, reports the Mirror.

Exposure to sewage causes a number of bacterial infections, including Salmonella that can cause typhoid, E.Coli and Listeria. These germs produce rather unpleasant symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, skin rashes, dehydration and all can be fatal in some cases.
