Water can become contaminated with nitrate, bacteria and many other chemicals. The effects of drinking this water can range from no reaction to severe illness and possibly death. You may notice the effects immediately or may not notice them for a while.
According to scientists, water is the single most important element in supporting human life. The best way to protect you is to avoid local tap water and seek out bottled water instead.
If bottle water is not readily available, try boiling tap water, this generally kills most micro-organisms. Freezing water does not kill bacteria, ice presents the same problem as tap water, unless boiled first and then turned to ice.
Avoid food that may have been rinsed in contaminated water. Symptoms of water-borne illness include diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, fever, aches and/or chills, amongst others. Symptoms will clear up after a few days. If the symptoms worsen, please seek medical attention.
Many factors affect the possible reaction such as the age and general health of the person, the type of contaminant, the amount, and how long the person was exposed to the contaminant. If you suspect your water quality at all, have your tap water AND filtered water tested.
