Doctor's don't like it but Vantra the fire dancer drinks it as burning man!

I remember some years back people were drinking from a natural spring in a mountain where I live and a few people died due to some brain eating bacteria in the water.
Same thing could happen here.

From what I understand, a good rule of thumb for when you're out in the wilderness is if it's still water, don't drink. If it's flowing water, it's most likely safe.

When i lived in the Outback the only water to drink in the area i was staying was bore water. It was beautiful as well, you could taste the minerals in it.

That's a little different than that dude getting it from a pipe from the side of a freeway! But these days I'd boil everything in the wild if possible. But I'm paranoid

Upon moving to Hawaii I was always skeptical about this survival tip. Worked on the Island of Kauai for a few months, on our days off we would go hiking. I packed a little light on water a few times, so just drank straight from the natural waterfalls on the side of the mountain. Perfectly fine.

There are all sorts of areas where people can get and bottle great fresh water in Canada.

But similar to your story I recall many, many years ago, a natural spring that spewing out water beside a rural highway. I would see cars lined up with their bottles to get and take water home. Heck I would have grabbed some but I was not lining up for an hour or more to get water.

Then one day I drive by and see police like caution tape around it and a city sign saying this water has been tested and is contaminated please call ____ if you have been drinking it and no lineup. I always wondered if that was real or a gag but I never saw anyone line up there again.

I hope any hipsters who drink it dies.

Sounds like it's the people keeping computers, cellphones and the internet running for us.

Ive rinsed my mouth with stream water in the bush, never swallowed it though. Nothing happened.

This sounds right up Nestle’s alley

Raw water?

 

[Philo-Publius]

Has anyone died from this yet?

I live 5 minutes from Calexico. The "New River" is HORRIBLE.
