[at-l] what *IS* the risk of water borne pathology?

[JJJ]

Might have already covered this, but... is Aqua Mira different than or better than household bleach?

  When backpacking, I treat almost all of my water even though I'm
  pretty sure almost all water sources are safe - at least along the AT.
   You just never know if something died just out of sight upstream - or
  if the trail is about to switchback uphill, to pass the same water
  source, etc.  I used to use iodine tablets and now use Aqua Mira.
  Both are light and easy to use.
