<br />Most other beaches in Miami-Dade and Broward had elevated levels of bacteria less than 10 percent of
<br />the time, according to the weekly measurements.
<br />
<br />A few other beaches -- Miami Beach at 53rd Street, Miami Beach at 21 st Street and Crandon Park in Key
<br />Biscayne - had elevated levels of bacteria 10 to 16 percent of the year, Polluted beach water can cause
<br />Q"nesses including skin rashes, gastrointestinal discomfort, respiratory ailments, eye and ear infections,
<br />even dysentery and hepatitis, according to the NRDC report.
<br />
<br />South Beach got a four stars out of five for its water quality in the group's report on 200 of the nation's
<br />most popular beaches.
<br />
<br />. 'We want to compliment Dade County for taking care of South Beach," Quintero said. . 'We just hope that
<br />20 blocks up they take their lead," she said referring to the poorer water quality at Miami Beach's 21 st
<br />Street.
<br />
<br />Sunny Isles Beach wasn't the worst offender in Florida, Bayou Chico in Escambia County had elevated

<br />bacteria, DeThomas said the issue of the pelican droppings is often resolved with a little time.
<br />
<br />"Sometimes you may have droppings but in 24 hours nature corrects itself," she said, A separate study
<br />also released Wednesday by University of Miami researchers found those who swam in South Florida
<br />beaches reported skin, gastrointestinal and respiratory illnesses more often than those who stayed out of
<br />the water, The researchers recommended that people with open cuts or a compromised immune system
<br />not swim in the ocean,
<br />
<br />Oldowever, "if you're healthy and you have no open wounds you should be fine," said Helena Solo-Gabriel,
<br />,e associate dean for research in UM's college of engineering and one of the study's researchers,
