[QUOTE="pauly250, post: 253476, member: 523"] Back in my Army days in the early 90,s i completed a reasonably hard survival course at the Pulada Jungle Training Centre in Malaysia. When we ran out of water and were getting desperate enough to drink from streams we would add 4 drops of Betadine per 1 litres of water and allow at least an hour or so for the Iodine to kill any germs present, all first aid kits will have a little bottle of Betadine in them. Betadine should be avoided by pregnant women,people with thyroid problems and people that a sensitive to Iodine e.g people that are shellfish allergic. Sodium Silver chloride tablets can also be used and are affective after 30 minutes [/QUOTE]
