[at-l] Tuckerization in the Water Dept.

### Were giardiasis a person, it would not be invited to many parties.
That said, however, you are MUCH more likely to contract it (and a
*amazingly* colorful array of other micro-fauna) from the handshake you
greet others with on the trail, than from the wa-wa you drink. MUCH more.
But I bet (except for that s.a.e.t.h. Paddler) that you're not going to
quit shaking hands on your Through, are you?

For the most part I've quit treating water all together.  You'll find most
sources are ground springs with little or no chance of comtamination.  A
bottle of Polar Pure will do the trick with questionable sources.
