It will also remove 99.9 percent of all Giardia and Cryptosporidium while removing turbidity (suspended solids in water). If you camp, hike, hunt, or do any outdoor activity, then you need this. I have had friends who were hunting and almost died due to dehydration. They ended up contracting a mild case of Giardia from drinking out of tainted water sources. These same friends now pack a LifeStraw in their camp packs every time they go out. At a cost of $19.99, they make an attractive stocking stuffer.
