In the August 2021 survey, more than half of 1,004 survey participants incorrectly said that tap water can be used for nasal rinsing, 50% believed is appropriate for rinsing contact lenses and 42% trusted it is safe for use in respiratory devices such as humidifiers or CPAP – continuous positive airway pressure – machines, which are used to treat sleep apnea.
There have also been multi-state outbreaks of Acanthamoeba from improper contact lens rinsing, which can cause blindness and other permanent eye damage. “They might not be the most frequent things to be occurring each year,” Miko said, “but to the people that do acquire the infections, it has a significant impact.” Most healthy people exposed to these microbes will not get sick. However, certain groups of people may be at a higher risk of serious infection.
Seriously, Americans use tapwater to clean the contact lenses?!?!
But you can drink gallons of it!
I do all the time, it’s fine. Trust me
Neti's are awesome and come with instructions to use only distilled water which is common sense. But the average CNN viewer needs instructions on how to dispense toothpaste, warnings that smoking is bad for you, think masks work, and the so-called 'vax' is a vaccine!
So pool water from a pool vacuum cleaner it is then. Thank you!
Just don’t use these, mostly, stupid devices. A bigger issue is that people drink “dead” water, with no microorganisms, instead of drinking tap water.
Impeach Biden now!
But it's OK to drink the water...
My doctor told me never to use those. Because they can make you sicker, which is exactly what happened. I ended up with Pneumonia.
Yyyyaaaawwwwnnnnnn...

In an audio file, Majid Kazemi, among at least 20 sentenced to death in Iran without due process, said he was forced to falsely confess under 'torture.' '...They kept beating me and saying these weapons were mine, and I said yes, they’re mine.' MajidKazemi
distilled water.
CNN is a joke. Looking at their headline on the App.... nothing about boxes of Special Intelligence materials in Bidens Personal Garage, next to the Vet. If its not a Republican fucking up, its not worth covering I guess.
But mayor adams said it's safe to drink
Bună dimineața tuturor!♥️
Oh my word.
A day before the 40th day of KianPirflak's brutal murder,once again the Islamic Republic took the innocent life of a child by shooting at a car.SohaEtebari was only 12 when she got shot and killed by the IRGC forces while she was inside the car with her family! IRGCterrorists

This is only 1/8th of the 'safe water' story. There's only one 'type' of water everyone should know about and use. And it's not any of the 'Deadly 7'. So, what's in your water? Take the survey at Email: dlcsuppliesgmail.com
Ahhh...Duh
Clean your neti pots before filing them with water. Silly.
It's pee. They say you should use boiled pee.
Yep... just think of an amoeba in that tap water, and it gets into your brain, and then it's farewell. It's the same as swimming in a contaminated lake and having the same happen. They will literally destroy your brain. Always use distilled or boiled water. Ideally distilled.
Maybe don't do weird and unnecessary things to your body in the first place?
Why am I drinking it then?
Can sinus rinse go to your brain? Use the right water But if you use tap water in a nasal rinse, the bacteria can continue to live. It can eventually cause infection and, in very rare cases, travel to the brain.
I guess that's not common sense for everyone.
Is it just me? Or is reading the comments on ridiculous CNN posts the best part of your day? You people are hilarious!
Post real fucking news or fade away!!!!
To hell with the health tips
C’est pour déboucher le nez ? J’en ai un en plastique, du gros sel et de l’eau tiède.
I'm surprised that this would be news to anyone. Apparently, not everyone reads instructions on their medical devices.
We have more precious lives slipping out of our hands right now and we need serious attention and help! MohammadGhobadlou is arrested because he shouted freedom!!!
some sage advice I received moons ago was to use only lukewarm mountain dew or near boiling oat milk in my neti pot and let me tell you both options will certainly wake you up
People drink…. tap water.
Iranian youth protesters are at risk of execution because they were asking for their own rights! Be MohammadGhobadlou 's voice! He's currently at a higher priority because there's a possibility of him being executed by this morning
Your comment sections have become an echo chamber. The bots that used to appear as your audience have disappeared
IRGCterrorists
Soooooo, if you shower and get it in a cut then what? Or swallow it? If you can’t wash your sinuses in it then isn’t this more of an issue than GAS STOVE?
Rather fitter it
So which water do we use ?
And what about the vaccine?
It's unhealthy
Stop using the media to ensure your salvation. It's not possible. Here's what to use instead:
WFI aka water for injection.
Yep switched to distilled water with my waterflosser
Filtered tap water
