I drank "raw water" once in the Desolation Wilderness in the Sierras. Never again. My innards did not like Mr. Giardia Lamblia. Not at all.

We drank raw water all through the Sierras, San Bernardinos, San Gabriels, etc., and never had a problem. I understand that is no longer safe to do.

Giardia! I drank well water at a rural ranch while 4 months pregnant. The few antibiotics I was allowed to take didn’t do it, so I got to keep giardia for the duration of the pregnancy. Fun. My immune system finally fought it off 2 weeks after giving birth.

My wife’s case of giardia helped solve a missing person’s case.

I have thought of marketing capsules of giardia as a guaranteed 20-lb weight-loss product. Probably wouldn’t be much repeat business, though.

If people like drinking the water in Mexico they will love drinking that $36.99 bottle of water here.
