Giardia

When I was a teenager, I was hiking the hills looking for antlers and ran out of water. No worries though, as close by was an old homestead with a spring box in good working order. Even had a ladle for dipping water. When I got to the spring box I was badly in need of a drink, so I opened the box and scoped out a ladle full of water with out looking carefully. The water about made me puck. I had drank from the spring in the past an never had a problem so I looked down into the box. In the bottom was a dead chipmunk that was slowly dissolving into a pile of mush. Did not make that mistake twice.
 
In summer our spring box (and sole water source) had somewhere around 3000 daddy lomglegs living in it. We drank it without hesitation. :)
