Hello SnoLepard -

Just finished Rockwell's article.  Nice read...thanks!

It's obvious that his work isn't funded by the filter folks <g>.

Poor personal hygiene (particularly hand washing) is more and more getting
the blame as the only likely source for giardiasis in typical backcountry
situations.  Hmmmm...as a solo hiker I guess I don't even have to worry
about that!
