So i made kava yesterday night using my tap and just again today... as i take back 2 shells of grog, i realize that on the fridge it sais do not drink water boil first turns out a pipe bursted or something and its probrably contaminated with pathogens. Do you guys think kava is powerful enough to kill said pathogens? i dont feel sick or anything and i got a pretty dope immune system.... and i really dont want to dump out my kava and start over.... hmmm...

Q26 - What infectious organisms might be present in contaminated water?
There are many possible water borne pathogens. The organisms of concern in New York State include protozoa such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium; bacteria such as Shigella and E. coli; and viruses.
These organisms primarily affect the gastrointestinal system, causing diarrhea, abdominal cramps, nausea, and vomiting, with or without fever. Sometimes, these illnesses are contracted by ingesting contaminated water, and in some circumstances skin contact could also lead to infection. Most of these illnesses are not usually serious or life threatening except in the elderly, the very young or those who are immune compromised.
