Whatever works for you,is fine by me.
I have managed to experience giardia in Colorado.About 40 years ago,I drank wild,cool water only about 2000 feet,maybe 3000 (+ or -) below the Continental Divide.
To be clear,the Divide is the line where melting snow decides if it is heading for the Pacific or the Missisippi.Its real far upstream.
Another name for Giardia is "Beaver Fever" .Allegedly,beaver ponds and waste can be the source.
Elk and trout live in that country,too.Both carry liver fluke.I agree,cook your food.
I meant no disrespect.
