Is the slimy film harmful to kids playing on the sand?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, the slimy film you've noticed could be indicative of an unwelcome presence. In dubai and the uae, we often experience such conditions post-heavy rainfall. This slime might be from a type of algae or bacteria that thrives in moist environments like sand after rain showers.

In the uae, there are regulations concerning public health which would include ensuring the cleanliness of areas where people, especially children, play. The sticky substance you're describing could pose some health risks if it's not properly identified and addressed. It’s definitely a good idea to get this checked out by professionals who can identify what exactly is causing these conditions.

If you suspect any microbial growth, it's best to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection. They will be able to assess the situation and provide appropriate remediation measures if needed. This ensures that your family is safe from potential health hazards like skin irritations or respiratory issues.

In the meantime, try to keep an eye on where exactly these slimy patches are forming – they often appear in low-lying areas of sand where moisture tends to collect. Encourage kids to play in drier spots and ensure they wash their hands thoroughly after playing outside. If you notice any changes in your children’s health or if the condition persists, it's wise to consult a medical professional as well.

Remember, prevention is key! Regular checks on outdoor spaces can help keep your family healthy during and after rainy seasons.
