When You Travel Abroad, Camp or Backpack…
…you run a risk of illness ranging from the inconvenience and discomfort of diarrhea to
more serious illnesses caused by protozoan cysts (i.e. Amiba, Giardia, Cryptosporidium),
viruses and bacteria (i.e. Legionella, Cholera).
The microorganisms that cause these diseases are often found in the food and water you
consume. Lakes, streams and the local water supply may be contaminated. To minimize the
risk of contracting these illnesses, we suggest that you consult with your physician, state
health department or travelers' clinic 4-6 weeks before you depart.
And while you are traveling…
•
Make sure that prepared food is thoroughly cooked.
•
Select non-cooked foods (fruits, nuts, etc.) that have intact shells or skins, and
clean your hands before peeling the food.
•
Wash your hands with soap and water thoroughly and often, especially
before you eat. Filter all drinking water with your Katadyn Combi Water
Microfilter.
The Katadyn Combi Microfilter is an essential piece of outdoor equipment. We hope it makes
your outdoor experience more enjoyable. For questions or suggestions, please contact us at
