      “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.

        The shit we have to do to make it drinkable will probably also blow your mind.

        Water is essential to all life on this planet. Imagine drinking water that no other organisms can live in.

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

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

                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.

      If you seriously think wherever you live has water pure enough to do sinus rinses straight from the tap, id ask if you’re certain enough to bet your life on it- then I’d suggest you reconsider having such an abrasive stance on the subject.
