Re: Tap water
***yes, but boil for 10 minutes and then cool it down before pouring into cleans [washed with boiling water] bottles for storage.
what most people forget is that rinsing mouth with untreated/unboiled water during teeth brushing or showers/baths is equally harmful. you might get the bug that way as i found out during my recent trip to India. i brushed my teeth ONLY once with tap water [untreated/unboiled] during my 14 hour stop at Bombay…Mumbai is notorious for it’s ‘killer water’…so, be careful!
one more thing…never drink sharbat/lassi or eat yogurt in the sub-continent as the milk/water contains unclean water. you must also wash veggies with clean water and then peel it before you eat it…the famous phrase is:
If you can’t peel it, you can’t eat it! :)***
