Have Your Plumbing Checked Today

If you’re having stomach issues such as nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, or fever, contaminated drinking water might be the cause. Numerous pollutants too often found in water can lead to stomach pain after consumption.

Here are a few of the most common issues:

• Coliform – A bacteria that lives in plants, the gastrointestinal tract of animals, and soil, coliform can enter the water from various sources, including leaking well caps, waste disposal, and cross-contamination from sewage plants.
• E. coli – This type of bacteria generates a potent toxin and can infiltrate water supplies by way of farm runoff and sewage leaks. It’s more of a problem for homes with private wells.
• Giardia – Most often thriving in fecal matter, this parasite is a risk due to farm runoff, dirty diapers, and animal feces. It settles into the small intestine and results in fatigue, stomach cramps, weight loss, headaches, and vomiting.
• Cryptosporidium – In this country, cryptosporidium is the leading cause of waterborne illnesses. This microscopic parasite has a lengthy survival time outside of a host and is a risk anytime drinking water mixes with animal or human fecal matter.
• Salmonella – Infiltrating private wells due to sewage overruns and stormwater runoffs, this well-known bacteria is a problem when drinking water comes into contact with human or animal feces.
• Shigella – Another bacteria that lives in feces, it gets into drinking water by way of sewage contamination and possibly flooding.
