The main
idea of the article is redeemed in the title, which is never drinking any water
until it is de-contaminated. Water in the wild is a source of many bacteria and
diseases, which may cause poisoning or death. Any water is not trusted to be
healthy even if it appears fresh or clean. The origin of the river or lake is
unknown; many animals urinate and produce feces, from mammals to birds and
fish. Therefore, people are most likely drinking feces if water is not treated
properly. Another bacteria source is dead animals all around the borders of the
water bodies. The market way of de-contaminating water is using filters, but
really, the easiest, cheapest, and most effective way is boiling the water. No
matter where the location is, as long as the water is boiled, the bacteria will
deteriorate or wear away.
“The Water
is Unsafe to Drink” is a thought of all types of nasty human garbage and feces,
which made me think of how dirty the water would be including the animal feces.
I learned that the water can be looking fresh and crystal clear, but in reality
it can be deathly poisonous. The source of bacteria is not only animals, but
humans contribute in many ways. Due to this article; I will never take the risk
to drink an unknown source of water without boiling it or de-contaminating it
in a way or another.
