What Auntie Sunita says

Kerala, India · Daily and Seasonal Rhythm

“The hard rule. Only water that was boiled and cooled, distilled water or sterile water. Never water straight from the tap, not even good Dutch tap water. In the United States people died of a rare brain infection after rinsing their nose with tap water, the amoeba living in the household pipes. Swallowing such water is not the danger, water going up the nose is. Her line: "Only boiled and cooled water in the neti pot, never straight from the tap."”
