So, next time your tap water looks like a forgotten puddle, don’t panic. You’re just drinking a very old, very polite guest—a compound from the forest that has overstayed its welcome. It won’t hurt you, but it might annoy you.
If you’re tired of looking like you’re rinsing your mouth with ditch water, get a proper filter. Your taste buds will thank you. Your laundry will definitely thank you.
And if you ever feel brave, take a sip and imagine you’re a medieval peasant drinking from a forest stream. Just without the cholera. You’re welcome.
