      “Your part of the world” is most of the world.

      In the country I grew up in, drinking directly from the tap is playing russian roulette.

      You either filter the water, or boil it first before consuming it.

      When I moved to a country in which tap water was drinkable, it blew my mind. Of course, it’s totally normal to me nowadays.

        I couldn’t even imagine this. I consume tap water daily. And to be honest also never heard such storys before this.

                Okay. Thank you. I read up about it after all this. That was/is a total foreign concept to me and it would never have occurred to me. And to be honest I find it disgusting.

                  May I ask how old you are? I’m not dissing you or anything. I’m just trying to learn when I’m talking to a young person, vs an old one, based on what they write.

                  Having said that, it’s funny when people say things like that when we all have a hole that spews shit every day.

          Yeah sinus rinse requires already boiled water, even straight from the glacier, I think it’s super sensitive to infection
