As this topic as been "beaten to a pulp" on the list, I'll simply re-state
what so many others have already noted.
It's probably not the water, it's more than likely personal hygiene. Given
the mode of "I'm in a hurry" and uber-Ultralight methods of this hiker,
maybe he did not carry sanitizer/soap due to weight nor did he find the time
to wash, 'after'.

The lesson to be learned from this is as follows:.............The water may
look good but may still be contaminated........or it may be good today and
contaminated tomorrow........some people have developed a greater resistance
or immunity to ''Giardia''.
