But wait!   Pray tell, has the CDC found a stream or lake water along 
the PCT that contains Cryptosporidium?  ...just wondering....

You can filter all week long, but if you partake of food prepared by 
someone who has not practiced the best hygiene, you're doomed.

Seems there might be an unwarranted emphasis on the water, without any 
evidence.  Ever wonder why diarrhea outbreaks among hikers might occur 
in clusters?  They are not all drinking unfiltered water.
