[at-l] Safe Water

<<My body can handle some kinds of "nasties", but not all kinds -
yours can handle some kinds, but not all kinds.  Some that bother me won't
bother you - and vice versa.>>

Which is really what cracks me up about the "drink the water and get used
to the nasties" that a few people argue, as it assumes that you're running
into the same nasties each time...
If you were unlucky enough to hit even two new nasties in a couple of weeks
it wouldn't be a very happy time hiking...
Heck, talking to some people who've bigged up some of the bugs, hitting
even one nasty isn't very happy.
Of course, YMMV...
