And thanks for the link. From it comes an important statement which could easily justify using both filters and chemicals, then putting the final product in freezer bags to carry around inside one's jacket for a few hours before using it. "The colder the water, the less effective the chemical is as a purifying agent." Cold is not a problem down here in the subtropics but could be a real factor up in elk country.

BTW, I forgot about rotaviruses. A girl at work had a rotavirus infection last summer she picked up from her kid. She was sick for nearly 2 months! :barf:
