Useful Vaccinations

RE: Useful Vaccinations
Filtering won't take out cholera, BP.

Boiling will, and you're right that we should boil all our water, but with fuel scarce it could be horribly easy to get careless. We'd need to boil not only the water we wash our fruit and veg in but also the water for washing everything else. It sounds good in theory, but when you draw water from a reservoir you're going to get some on your hands - are you going to stop and boil your water (touching the pot with your contaminated hands) in order to wash before you carry away what's left? One drop of contaminated water on your hand, one brush of your hand against your mouth, and that could be all it takes.

Put it this way - I know you're right, but if there's another precaution I can take for no cost then I'm definitely going to do it.
