Okay - I've boiled a fair amount of drinking water in my time, and I'm not aware of anything that takes boiling for an hour to kill. Anyone know the purpose of this?
Did the governor say boil for an hour? If she did, don't listen, she is kind of dumb.
Did anyone see the reporter, I think from CNN, at Jackson square talking about how Andrew Jackson helped liberate the city of NO from the French?
My husband looked at me and sort of chuckled.
Don't think there would be water left in the pot after an hour. Maybe that's the subtle message of the order.
Perhaps it's a way to boil volatile chemicals out of the water, but that sounds sketchy to me. Sounds mostly like a way to run out of fuel more quickly.
I think the 1-hour boil instruction was from a broadcaster on the wwltv.com newcast that simply misspoke. She's been saying all day to boil for 1 minute, and I did hear her say 1-hour just a little while ago, but they were trying to get through some announcements quickly and no one bothered to correct her.
I am thinking any water that is boiled for an HOUR will end up as steam and evaporate...
Giardia takes a long time to kill, but an hour is really long.
