It will be interesting to see if any illness is contracted by the group after drinking "swamp water"!!!

I firmly believe that it is better to drink from questionable sources so that you remain hydrated and can return to town, where medical care is available for the bugs you may contract. They are curable these days.

I have followed this strategy on several occasions and I have never suffered for it. Obviously, it is better if you can treat the water before drinking, but that isn't always possible.

I hope any followup news reports can be posted here. It will be interesting to see.
