  • Do You Think Tap Water Is Sterile?

    From Lawrence D'Oliveiro@21:1/5 to All on Thu Mar 14 02:29:29 2024
    Interesting report on rare, but serious and even fatal infections from
    people using tap water to clean internal orifices, under the mistaken
    belief that it is free of potentially harmful microorganisms <https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/03/death-by-neti-pot-why-you-shouldnt-use-tap-water-to-clean-your-sinuses/>.

    Just because the stuff in the water won’t harm us if we drink it or
    bathe in it, doesn’t mean it can be safely inserted anywhere else.
