I got a nasty stomach bug from drinking the tap water in Sicily.

And then I told the rest of America to watch out for the water in Europe. So it’s me; I’m the reason.

Your messaging must have incredible reach!

I've had my fair share of stomach discomforts while travelling, but I'm very unlikely to associate it with tap water unless I do a controlled self-study.

More often its clearly from food prepared in unhygienic conditions, because that's the only variable during my travels and tap water is the norm for me.
