Will I die? PLEASE HELP ME?

[Anonymous]

I"m going to make this short but I drank tap water now my stomach hurts A LOT. Do I have a parasite? Will I die? (I'm from California by the way.) Please answer please please please.

Tap water is filtered and purified. Due to its classification by the FDA the restrictions on what is an exceptable level of contaminates are far more restrictive than the restrictions on bottled water.

So, a parasite is very unlikely. In any case, even if you got a parasite it wouldn't kill you as long as you went to a doctor and got medical attention. It would be far more gross than life threatening.

You probably just had some bad food or are getting sick. If it gets worse go to a doctor. I'm not one, so obviously this doesn't constitute medical advice. You should see a doctor for a medical opinion.

A woman just died recently from California tap water.

[Malefactor18]

The article I just read says it was a brain eating amoeba and enters through the nose or open wounds and she probably contracted it from untreated lake water she was swimming in.

Also, it's a brain eating amoeba, not stomach eating. She displayed the first symptoms months after she was first exposed.

I think you're probably getting yourself worked up over nothing, but your stomach is probably hurting for some reason, so do go see a doctor.

Well, you should be fine but if they say don't drink the water
the worst can happen is that you will poop lot to get rid of any
bacteria that the water may or may of not gave you but if the
water is not allowed to be drank then you most likely got use
what ever water they have for drinking.. I wouldn't worry much
about it cause i think you'll be just fine.

OMG that sounds like a very severe case ! You have to hurry and get to the hospital to have them remove the parasite before it takes over your brain and begins to eat you from the inside out !!! Do you really wanna spend your final hours here on gag? Think about it! Any second more could make it too late ! Hopeless !

*lol*

[FreyaDiermayr]

calm down you're not gonna die
tap water in california is actually fine to drink, but it could be you drank from a rusty spout or something

[sid312]

Yes u are def. Gonna die, i am sorryy to give u the bad news. But thats gonna happen about 60yrs from now😀

[xnoiseandkissesx]

Our state is going through a drought, NO WATER FOR YOU!!

[Likes2drive]

Funny, lol aren't they creating a desalinization plant to start using the water from the ocean? No problem with water supply here in New York though, it comes from underground aquifers

Eventually, you will die, my dear, but not from drinking tap water.

[cinderelli]

yes you will.. omg.. what to do... you should drink acid to kill the parasite.. this is the only way :p

Don't know enough about Californian tap water to answer the question.

It seems pretty extreme though to die from drinking tap water.

[Star_Lord]

No you will be fine, My stomach often hurts, Even more worst than you, I'm still alive, You just need to poo poo !

I doubt you would feel anything that quick if was and its the water in Mexico that does that and they just get a lot of diarrhea and keep going to the bathroom

[Opinion Owner]

If the pain is really intense on your right lower side and doesn't go away and isn't caused by drinking water it could be your appendix

[Asker]

I have pain all over. Right and left side.

[Opinion Owner]

You could have trapped gas or you may have gotten a stomach virus , did you try going to the bathroom yet? You should probably go to the doctor if it persists

[Dave24]

Um... no, tap water should be OK to drink unless you live in a third world country.

[lanternhill]

Uh... just go to the bathroom.

[lanternhill]

I read this as you drank a *lot* of water - but still, try going to the bathroom. And see a doctor if it doesn't go away.

[TravisG]

Go to the doctor and tell them what happened

[apexalpha]

You will die a slow and agonising death

[Asker]

WHAT? SERIOUSLY!

[Bowshots86]

Go to the doctor not a forum community

[YazanAA]

Yes, all of us will die.

[kingoficeolation]

It's probably gas.

[TotallyAlmost]

I highly doubt it.
