Thanks for the laugh! Maybe it will go away now. I am trying probiotics...and will use my filter from now on!

On topic, I boiled up some red-contaminated snow last week, made up some noodles and freeze-dried potatoes with it. Never felt the least bit queazy.

Thanks Steve for the video! Whenever my stomach gurgles now, I imagine these fellows are inside of me, struggling around tied up in their chairs. The video is exactly what it feels like! Actually, I think the probiotics are helping...and maybe it was something else in the water, but I am filtering from now on!

And thinking just now about Yeti's comment, the boiling may have killed the organisms...I drank it straight from the creek. It looked so clear and was so cold...and there was no unusual taste. And in Redwic's article, he mentions that it likes the cold...

have a complete blood panel done, rule out giardia...see a good specialist, a credible "diarrhea doctor"

...this thread has taught us that extra-terrestrials indeed walk among us...basic common sense says these aliens have now infected our brains with sickness and disease! ...are the billions of "snow worms" even what they seem to be?




and...for the love of God.........STOP EATING THAT RED SNOW

This seems to very common in the Boise, Pioneer, Boulder, Smoky and Lost river mountain ranges in Idaho. On a recent climb we found a pool of water in a dry creek bed that was blood red, and we wondered if it could be of the same cause.
