Certainly wasn't implying that dirty water is the only thing that can make you sick, but that is what the thread was about! :)

  More likely:

  Unwashed hands of fellow hiker you shared your trail mix with = sick = no hiking

  The Forest service spent quite a bit effort trying to keep their
  firefighters from getting sick from the water, with little success.
  They then started requiring use of hand sanitizer before meals, Big
  Success.

  Moral: for all the fear and worry, it wasn't the water. It was the other humans.
