Is it dangerous to drink "sandy" water?!


Question: Is it dangerous to drink "sandy" water!?
My *stupid* neighbours were doing some kinda digging project yesterday, and they hit the water connection!. So the whole neighbourhood got sand and dirt in their water!. So last night it was obviously dirty, brown even, not drinkable!.
But today it looks a little better!. It's not brown, but it seems to have a lot of very small sand corns in it!. Do you think I can drink it today!? It does taste odd!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
I wouldn't drink it!.
Buy some water instead until it clears up totally!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You have to break this all of the way down to cells!. When a cell takes in seawater, it also takes in salt!. Salt will dehydrate the cell so if the cells dehydrate, you dehydrate!.


You may think you are rehydrating when you drink salt water but you're not!. The kidneys can only make urine that is less salty than salt water!. Therefore, to get rid of all the excess salt taken in by drinking salt water, you have to urinate more water than you drank, so you die of dehydrationWww@FoodAQ@Com

I think i will try it once cuz its a natural water thats coming out from the earth!. I am agree with you that it must seem little brown too!.!. but if that water stays on the same place about 3hrs all that dirt will be sets down and that water doesn't taste odd it will be like the same taste you drink dailyWww@FoodAQ@Com

I think you should try to pass it though a strainer!! =O watch out! SAND might have bacteria!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

yes it is!Www@FoodAQ@Com
