So i was reading the Precautionary Statements on the exterior packaging of the Katadyn Micropur MP1 Tablets. I couldn't help but notice that this product; causes irreversible eye damage and skin burns, harmful if swallowed, that it is toxic to fish and other aquatic organisms and to keep away from organic materials.

A lot of folks here talk about this product and it does seem to be very convenient, but right know I am a little reluctant to let my family drink water treated with this stuff. Can someone make me feel better about this product and the inherent dangers?

Now that I think about it, the bleach i have used periodically through the years to treat stored water has the same kind of hazards.
