     Bleach is an acceptable substitute for iodine. Same basic rules 
     though. So many drops, shake well, wait so long etc. If you leave 
     the top of the water container open it helps relieve the taste 
     somewhat.

     To which I reply:
     I hate to be a bore, but the site I gave
     (fc.net/~tdeagen/water/one.html)
     has a couple of studies which either cite other original research or 
     which conduct their own original research on the efficacy of various 
     "treatment" methods.
     And Bleach loses.
     Cold water, turbidity, comparisons to iodide or filtering.....bleach 
     loses.
     
     Sorry sir. (And so I take mine straight.)
