Turns out the #TapWater in New York City contains harmless #Microscopic #Crustaceans called #Copepods.
This apparently makes it so the #Water in #NYC is both not #Kosher and not #Vegan. Also it means anyone who lives in New York is walking around covered in an invisible film of potentially thousands to millions of dead Crustaceans due to showering.

Fewer than three deaths / year and so we’re not supposed to go swimming? How many millions go swimming every year? What’s the actual #risk here?
I wish “health” articles would include actual information and not just knee-jerk overreactions to every finding, no matter how rare.
What utter nonsense. It’s a lower risk than eating a bag of McDonald’s.
I flush my sinuses with #tapwater.
