Description
The Florida Department of Health in Hillsborough County issued a public health advisory Thursday for two different beaches in Tampa.
High bacteria levels were detected at Ben T. Davis and Picnic Island beaches after samples were taken and were above the threshold for enterococci bacteria.
"This should be considered a potential risk to the bathing public," health leaders explain in a news release.
Swimming isn't recommended while the health advisory is in place.
