Loc: High Rocky Mountains ibs-d
I contracted Giardiasis 28 years ago from water in the Rocky Mountains while hiking. You would think that fast moving mountain water would be okay. Not so. Since then I use a water filter on all water sources. At home we us a Brita filter.
It was different from ibs d ... I ended up in an icu where they gave me Quinacrine (I think). Made me really sick for 3 weeks. I won't go into the gory details, but I remember thinking that just dying would be okay.
Hot soapy water for utensils and a filter for all water.
