>>491190> newsflash: viruses needs hosts, and don't do too well outsideLook into your aquarium (or any creek or pond for that matter). Did you ever wonder why the stones get slippery? It's a biofilm. A complex ecosphere where viruses kill larger organisms like bacteria, fungi, algae and protozoa. None of them need special temperatures to thrive. These viruses can cause havoc amongst your gut-bacteria, causing the shits. I'm not talking about typhus here, i'm talking just about the good old three-day-shitteroo that really makes your /out/-time suck.
> since there ARE NO VIRUSES in the waterI want to believe.
> just stick to your irrelevant academic studiesBible belting much?
> i'm in the mountains enjoying fresh cold waterDude, just because it's cold and clear doesn't mean it can't cause the shits. Are you daft?
