The climate of "climate change", never changes.

Romans 1
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools

How does “climate change” make indoor water unsafe? Or was she homeless and using an outside untreated water source?

Use distilled water with salt.

Just as the contaminated eye drops are killing and blinding people with infection, so can contaminants that touch the mucus membrane.

I use chlorinated water from the faucet, boil it, and let it cool in the neti pot. Contaminated neti pots can contaminate distilled water.

I also run the neti pot through the dishwasher on HOT water.

Swimming in pond, creek or river water can do the same thing.

We all did it and survived.

Re: How does "climate change" make indoor water unsafe?

My understanding is that True Believers mix all sorts of herbs and potions in their Neti pots.

Also, it would not surprise me if they can purchase bottles of sacred water from the Ganges River or other famous water sources.
