Water in what was formerly called the "third world" is likely to cause disease and must be purified.

But this topic may perpetuate an unhealthy concern with water quality in North American wilderness that is wildly overblown.

Anyone who disagrees with my contention should first read a very serious and scholarly article published on the Loma Prieta Sierra Club Web site. (search giardia and sierra club for this article on Google).

If you have looked at this, then you are qualified to express a contrary view...I own a filter, and am glad to use it --- but only in certain select locations in North America...
