1. DID YOU KNOW YOU DON’T NEED TO DRINK CONTAMINATED WATER
TO BE CONTAMINATED BY IT.
Exposure to contaminated water isn’t confined to simply drinking it. You can also be exposed to contaminants in unsafe water by brushing your teeth with it, washing your contact lenses or dentures, as well as fruits and vegetables; or having that cocktail on contaminated rocks. If you’re traveling to or working in an area where you’re unsure of the water, take precautions.
Drink bottled water only from sealed, tamper-proof containers. If bottled water is unavailable, boil water to remove parasite contamination— maintaining a boiling point for at least one minute, longer in higher altitudes. Iodine or chlorine tablets can be used to kill bacteria or viruses, but read directions on all tablet or purifying systems before using them.
