RE: Water Purification Tablets
I have to agree with HP on this one.
Locals do not really "build up tolerance" to bad water.
Everyone that is going to die from the water dies, usually before age one, and those that are left are riddled with parasites and have a greatly reduced life expectancy.
I have known people that died from bad water too and it is not something you want to risk. I know one person that picked up amoebic disentary. 10 years of explosive diarrhea ending in death long after the water was consumed.
WHO estimates that 80% of the deaths world wide are due to bad water, the diseases carried by water, parasites in the water or pollution of the water.
By using purification techniques as prescribed you are eliminating 80% of the things in this world that will kill you.
