The Dangers of Natural Water
When you are in a survival situation, you are willing to drink whatever water you can find to survive. With this article, I would like to clear a few things up about the dangers of drinking water. When you come up on water that animals drink, you must know that they transfer a variety of microorganisms and intestinal parasites into the water as they drink. These contaminants can do a lot of damage to us for a long time since we do not have the tolerance for these contaminants. Even mountain streams that may look pure may have industrial chemicals as well as possible soil seepage.
The best thing to do with any water that you obtain including rainwater is to purify and filter it in any way that you can. I will discuss in later articles some techniques you can use to purify and filter water for survival situations.
