Jungle stream may look pure and refreshing, but beware, there lurk micro-critters that can make you sick, especially if a wild animal is relieving itself upstream. There are also larvae of worms which can enter your body and cause havoc.
So, rule-of-thumb when jungle trekking - always bring ample supply of drinking water.
