Question. Considering they have creepy crawlies in them at certain times of

be made fit for drinking in an emergency?

You boil it first?!
You can buy flasks that filter water, maintained to be 100% efficient in
getting rid of nasties. I have seen a demonstration where water was
taken from a foul ditch, filtered and then drank. Not by me I hasten to
