Is it OK to poop in a river?

Chef's answer
swim. Also if you have diarrhea or have recently had diarrhea, please don't lower your infectious body into a body of water shared with other people. Of course, outdoors in lakes, ponds, rivers, and the ocean, poop can get into the water even without someone actively pooping in it.
