One of our quirks as a species is that we think our food is bland if it doesn't have enough poison in it.

Yet, we drink from a mountain stream and we shit ourselves until we dehydrate and die.
actually, mountain streams are mostly safe because the water is in constant movement, and also as it's on a mountain, that typically means that the source is not that far away and so the water didn't have a lot of time to stand around and get infected with all kinds of stuff.
slowly-flowing or standing water in the plains is what gives you the diarrhea of your life.
even better: walk upstream ideally until you find the source, and drink from there. Water straight from the ground is generally incredibly clean, thanks to being filtered as it passes through the soil.
Like, that's how wells work, you dig down until water seeps out from the ground around the hole.
True, but that's not just humans. We just drink less poop water so we're behind on the immunity.
