The point of the article is that water was not likely to be the source
of your Giardia infection.

I'll second this. I just spent 10 days circumambulating the Ritter
Range out of Tuolumne and didn't filter water once. I drank out of
almost every stream we crossed, including those pouring out of lakes.
It's been a couple weeks and no giardia symptoms. This is an anecdote.
No basis in science or any other frame other than my own experience.
i remember when the whole giardia scare emerged - it was pretty obvious
it was a way to sell water filters. I didn't understand how the
unfiltered/treated water I'd been drinking in the wilderness since the
early 60s was suddenly rife with organisms wanting to give me intense
diarrhea.
