Explaining my decision to drink lake water to Mike Bullard

Water1 
(Water I pulled from Lake Ontario. I boiled it and ran it through a filter before taking a few big swigs)

Had a short interview with the extremely funny Mike Bullard on Newstalk 1010 explaining how I ended up drinking water from Lake Ontario. Spent most of the interview laughing nervously and trying not to choke.

The station was kind enough to send the audio.

It has been about six days and no ill effects to report. I promise to post something if anything happens but imagine at this point I am out of immediate danger.

One of my regular readers named Frank suggested I take the remaining water to an expert to test what made it through the filter.

In my haste to get to my desk I dumped the remaining water from round one but love the idea and plan to scoop water from a few locations, run it through the same process and get an expert to tell me what sticks around.

I do not plan to drink a sample from each.
