[pct-l] giardia/water

[Janet Grossman]

I hiked from Hwy 58 to Kennedy Meadows in September 2009, was diagnosed 
(based on stool sample) with giardia about a month and a half later 
after a month of feeling generally not right, but not really sick. I 
used Aqua Mira (drops) to treat all water except that I used from Mary's 
2 water caches, and the water I took from the hose at Kennedy Meadows 
Store. I hugely appreciated the existence of the caches and the hose. 
However, I would certainly recommend that other hikers also purify water 
from these 2 sources.
