I found this online today after reading some information about brain cysts. We all know that drinking untreated or unfiltered water is bad…. but just how bad is it to drink from that crystal clear stream. Well, here’s how bad it can get.

The Hydatid Cyst forms from a tapeworm found in fecal matter of dogs, wolf, moose, and other animals. The problem arises when one of those animals takes a crap upstream from or around a water source. These little buggers burrow into your brain and grow into puss filled sacks with millions of little hard shelled tapeworms.

You can see by the video above how big these sacks grow. In untreated animals, these sacks can grow as big as footballs. The one extracted from the brain of the patient above is about the size of a softball.

I gotta tell you…. seeing this made me seriously question the effectiveness of own filter. Thankfully my filter is adequate enough to properly protect me from this very situation. I’d suggest you make sure yours is as well.
