So, today in class we were playing with hula hoops. One of the last exercises we did had us trying to get 3 people though a series of 6 hoops using 1 tank (we had a primary and a secondary regulator) this obviously required us to buddy breath though the whole thing. After class I was thinking about it and realized that I had just successfully "swapped spit" with 3 different people in less than an hour (I was buddy breathing with my usual buddy for another exercise we did before this). I know chlorine can take care of things like pee in the water, but how good is it!? By moving the regulator quickly though the water will the chlorine actually kill anything that manages to latch onto it? For the 2 breaths that a regulator is in your mouth, can you actually pass on a nasty cold or anything else?? (Not that you would be diving with a bad cold) .... Im not really too worried about this, just very curious. Any input would be appreciated!
