I would highly recommend not getting creek water into your mouth while swimming. Other than nuclear green runs your farts will smell like rotting corpses and rotten eggs. May god have mercy on the soul of the next person who walks into my office unannounced.

Bro don't you ever see that beautiful clear creek in the forest and just hop right in to cool off and maybe dive for some river rocks or to look at the fish and then maybe take in a few mouthfuls of water?

Holy poo poo I got that once when fly fishing a stream near a beaver dam. Not thinking I put the leader in my mouth to tie on a new fly. 24,hrs later I was making GBS threads blood and at the ER wondering what the hell happened. 0/10 would not recommend.

They don't call it beaver fever for nothing. Take heed around dams!

Once I broke my digestive system by eating 3 plates of meat followed by 3 plates of desserts at an all you can eat buffet and for 3 days I was emitting the most foul-smelling , room-clearing sulphuric burps. The smell and taste of them coming up made me want to puke. It was disgusting.

I once had apparently weird fish on a flight and for days afterward got sulphur burps that made me want to die

I farted on the couch the other day and it smelled terrible. I kept working on my engineer work for another 30 mintues or so before I got up to go take a piss and my rear end felt like it was covered in astro glide.

So it turns out I poo poo my pants and didn't even know it for half an hour.

Getting old sucks dick.

If there's no beavers around you should be fine. Only happened to me once out of a zillion times and that was directly down stream from an active dam.

We might have survived as a race but lots of people probably died from it.

i had giardia in africa. it is pretty cool. your diarrhea comes out so fast and gassy it gets a head on it. toilet bowl looked like a big glass of guiness


the pre gas bloating is the painful part.

i remember having it ( i had it pretty much for two years straight) at a taxi station. i tried staying off in one corner. but after a few minutes it was so bad i was asked to move farther away

It's more an issue of shifting perceptions. People always got sick but back in the old days, when 10% of your village died from rancid water, that was considered OK and normal. You just invented some new religious stuff to explain it and ate some sort of plant concoction to ward off the evil spirits and called it good. Nowadays we're all pussies, though, and anything over 0% is unacceptable.

It was. Though they may not have known a lot of the underlying causes, premodern and early modern peoples, be they somewhere in Europe or anywhere else, knew that stuff like basic hygiene, some level of sanitation, and clean water were pretty useful.

Also, I've gone swimming in lakes and freshwater a lot and have never gotten sick from it. sorry about your bad luck op.

Lots of creeks and rivers were actually perfectly drinkable before the white man killed all the savages and started making GBS threads it all up
