The beach at Rathbun Lake's been closed after tests found high levels of fecal bacteria, a sign the water has organisms that could sicken people and pets. Sampling started before the Memorial Day, but confirmation tests delayed the report of high bacteria. The Des Moines Register reports the beach will be reopened when levels return to safe levels. Organisms related to fecal contamination from humans and animals can cause a variety of intestinal illnesses and skin infections.
