Some backpackers suggest and site research that diarrhea in the back country is more likely to be cause bay poor personal hygiene (not washing your hands after going to the bathroom)
Good to know. You might mention that one source of this myth is a 1990s edition of the NOLS cookery. Also I was taught the fish eye "myth" on the NOLS course I took in 1995.
Yes, we've spread this myth ourselves in our texts and instruction. Guilty as charged. But look on the good side. We caught ourselves and are correcting our ways, as any good educational institution should.
that is really cool! I'm glad won't have to convince my cookmates anymore that it isn't a waste of fuel to boil the water entirely. thanks for the tip!

Great job! A very cool interactive way to get the message and science out to the masses. Looking forward to seeing more "MythCrushers!"
