I have always followed my mom advice not to drink people's water, especially if the person drank it with their mouth before. Most people think that it is really no problem. Not like you will contact HIV or any dangerous sickness trough water, right?
WRONG! There's a lot of disease and sickness that can be contracted trough water. Some of the mild ones include fever and sore throat. The bacteria and virus will be in the water, and when another non-sick person drank it, there is a chance they will 'kena' too. I had an uncle that contracted Hepatitis B from her daughter, which genetically transferred from her mother's side of the family. In other words, she's a carrier... and now my uncle is hit with liver failure from Hepatitis B, and need to take medicine for a long long time.
Although dangerous illness like Hepatitis B could be prevented through immunisation, how well do you know it still work? Maybe a booster could help, but is it 100% effective? Accidents could happen anytime, else it won't be called an accident, would it? So, better be safe than sorry... prevention is always better than cure. ~Cheers~
