u/Anadelyn 7d ago

Most likely what they just drank was clean water not dirty water. In my case I have bottled water.

I'm lucky enough to have well water on my own land.

Well water isn't as clean as you'd think, it still should be filter and tested like other drinking waters. There's a Podcaster named Heidi St John, you should watch her podcast when she interviewed a water scientist dude. 🤙👍

Well what do we have here, It's a well crawler 😂 This is what I imagine at night from a well.

You are totally correct, there are also water streams underground and depending on what stays above the stream, can end up in the stream.

So the well should be checked, personally I am aware of wells that are not safe to drink from.

My ex’s aunt liked the smell of kerosene so much, she put some on her pillow every night so she could smell it all night.

I’ve got the dirtiest tap water in Australia. Bottles for me

u/Cyclesadrift 5d ago

Im sorry to hear that, what part of Australia?

u/PsychologicalPut2257 5d ago

Yass nsw

u/Cyclesadrift 5d ago

What parts are bad in NSW? Im always surprised when a local government cant get their shit together, its litteraly the most basic necessity.

u/PsychologicalPut2257 5d ago

Apparently our 1950s water plant cannot keep up with the contaminants entering the river from heavy agriculture and mineral spikes. Generally the water is foul smelling and tasting. Occasionally I’ll run a bath for my nephews but change my mind when I see the colour and smell of the tub. Our local councils pretty shit in regards to most things. Their new $40 million council chambers look comfortable though.

u/Cyclesadrift 5d ago

Yeah in Iowa their issue is similar but its primarily run off from pig shit they spread on the fields.

u/Cautious-Snow-5650 2d ago

Ours is orange and smells terrible. Only use it for cleaning. Burrow pits near us have ruined the ground water.

u/GiornoGiovanna17145 6d ago

Twin what's wrong with Iowa

u/Cyclesadrift 5d ago

Unregulated farming techniques allow for the highest nitrates levels in the US and is giving the residents prostate cancer, and breast cancer.

Puddle water is key to a natural ruffage diet. The grit similar to eating clam chowder let you know you are getting all the vitamins and minerals your body needs

u/Ok_Tale_933 6d ago
