woah this is a wicked helpful resource, thanks for sharing!

absolutely not lolol. that’s part of why i’m so struck that i got it at all. i did see that there was an citywide advisory in 2017 about giardia contamination cause of low chloride levels so it seemed like a possibility

the local health commissions have been on my ass about figuring out exactly where i could’ve contracted it so i’m really not trying to like, blame pittsburgh or something, more just trying to think of reasonable possibilities given that my mouth has been nowhere near backwater or poop

it rarely transmits human to animal or vise versa, it’s mainly from contaminated drinking water and in 2017 pittsburgh had extreme *contamination risk because of low chlorine levels

i was just curious if there are still reports of contamination: the cdc hasn’t listed data on it since *2017
