    Aren’t there like, entire metro-areas who get their potable water supply from glacier melt collected in reservoirs?

    Why hasn’t Denver been taken over by brain parasites yet?

      You can get some weird shit from preserved parasites and bacteria, if it’s glacier runoff, it’s filtered through miles and miles of biofilters and then probably hit again by chlorine and whatever whatever else is used by the water treatment plants.

      Raw dogging a glacier is probably okay, but not for any extended period of time.
