(Digg) Do Not Go Swimming In This Beautiful-Looking Lagoon

In a disused quarry at Harpur Hill there's a bright blue lagoon. It looks like a perfect place to cool off in summer. And it is, if you enjoy skin irritation and fungal infections.

A pool at a disused Derbyshire quarry, known locally as the Blue Lagoon, has been dyed black in a bid to deter people from swimming in it. Local business owner Rachel Thomas said changing the color of the quarry water has made a difference. "It's not pretty any more," said Ms Thomas. "They don't think they're on holiday in the Bahamas any more, they know they're in Harpur Hill.

Good idea to dye it black and seems to be working too!

It looks inviting but sucks that you get a shit load of health issues just by swimming in it.
