[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We spent a month in se Asia with a water expert and were told that the issue was long term buildup of heavy metals and arsenic but that being there for a month and occasionally using tap water wasn’t going to affect us, healthy people who generally aren’t exposed to such things. I think op you’re over thinking it especially as you’re staying with family and presumably they are surviving it. [/quote] She hasi little kids. That’s totally different than a healthy adult. If you have a 20 pound toddler they are going to be affected much more quickly than a 200 pound adult, plus their brains and bones are developing and are more affected. Yes, the kids who live there are surviving —but I’m sure they have long term health impacts and it’s not crazy to want to avoid that. I mean, would you move your toddlers into an apartment with lead paint dust. If you could avoid it? Probably not even though loads of kids have grown up that way.[/quote]
