Why Risk Gut-Wrenching Water Poisoning When It’s so Easy to Avoid

An estimated 40% of travelers fall sick with gastro poisoning, losing anywhere up to 4 days from their holiday. Imagine being on your dream holiday and coming down with diarrhea, vomiting, and severe cramps – imagine if it was one of your children – all because you didn’t avoid risky foods or use a simple AquaSafeStraw water filter.

Wide-Spread Water Poisoning Issues

Healthy drinking water is vital to our health. Each country has its own protection authority monitoring drinking water quality, but how effective these agencies can be in detecting and removing pollution in water systems depends on the resources made available to them, to environmental issues, and the level of industrial and farming controls.

Water poisoning very often comes from PBTs (persistent bioaccumulative toxic chemicals) possibly more commonly known as the organochlorins – industrial agents including the extremely harmful dioxins.

Water poison can originate from farming and suburban run-off, in the form of pesticides and other hazardous chemicals, while asbestos fibers, heavy metals, organic and inorganic sediment, and water lead poisoning are all severely damaging the environment and threatening our health.

It’s not only man-made substances that cause poisoned water sources. That clean, flowing stream you’re drinking from could contain naturally occurring contaminants that are poisonous to our bodies, such as e-coli, and parasitic cysts.

Dysentery is worldwide but plagues developing countries. Spread by poor hygiene, and through water poisoned by human sewage, the bacilli penetrate and ulcerate the intestine causing debilitating blood stained, pussy diarrhea.

Sources of Healthy Drinking Water

Though bottled water may first spring to mind, when even the World Health Organization is warning of possible health complications from the transportation and storage of bottled water*, you have to sit up and take notice.

In Western countries, while tap water is generally healthy, environmental factors such as drought or flooding, or mishap at the water filtration plant or pipe corrosion, may result in poisoned water. It’s not unheard of for the residents of even major cities to have to boil their water due to parasitic infiltration.

In one major U.S. city reportedly 400,000 residents became ill through swallowing Cryptosporidium oocysts. From the oocysts the parasites emerge, as with Giardia cysts, to live and reproduce inside the small intestine causing severe, diarrhea, vomiting, cramps, and fever.
