The book by Roland Musser(SP?) has a study. The percentage of people
contracting giardia is the same for those who filter and those who do
not.
Most GI illnesses come from poor hygiene, something rather common on the
trail. In fact, I remember reading somewhere (sorry..can't remember
where) where giardia (aka bever fever) is more often than not
transmitted by humans than animals.
Back to you regularly scheduled list... >>
The information in this book in useless. Because it was NOT a study, the
information is from what others told him on what they may or may not have
remembered.
Who thru-hike the same year and did not return his
questionnaire.
