used duck pool water in my garden

[Suezp]

Hi everyone in need of advise. I am new to both gardening and ducks. I read in a post that a great way to recycle my ducks pool water was to use it in the garden, I have raised bed of tomatoes, cukes, carrots lettuce, green beans, squash you get the picture. I started using the water not pouring directly on the plants but saturating the ground with the water. My 6 ducks are not free ranging they have a pen where they spend the day, I just read you should not use the water in a veggie garden due to asborption of bacteria now Im very worried that I ruined our garden for our ability to eat ( we havent eaten them yet. What should I do??

There is a line of thinking that any manure on a vegetable garden is a problem.

Because there are so many variables, I won't promise there are never problems.

I can say that I put duck water into the soil around vegetable plants. So far, so good. I think the most risk is splashing duck poop soup on vegetables that are generally eaten raw. Hygiene is my solution. (I thoroughly rinse vegetables in vinegar water.

If a family member is immunocompromised, a person would probably want to be extremely cautious about many things including handling compost.
