Here's a list of a few of the diseases that LifeStraw will prevent: cholera, cryptosporidium, cyclosporiasis, diarrheal disease, dysentery, gastroenteritis, giardiasis, guinea worm, hepatitis E, typhoid fever.
In the United States, one of the most common waterborne illnesses is caused by the legionella bacteria which is also filtered out by the LifeStraw.
Until we met the LifeStraw, we were unfamiliar with the term "turbidity". Now we know that it refers to the cloudiness of a fluid caused by suspended solids (aka funk).
The LifeStraw, in addition to ridding the life-threatening diseases that may be present in natural water sources, also turns cloudy water crystal clear.
