Chlorine and Flouride don't kill Cryptosporidium anymore

They have become resistant to harm by these water purifying agents. So, when they are present (mostly between August and the fall because of lower water levels where Cryptosporidium from animal feces in the water can reproduce better in warmer waters one of the only ways to not be affected in some way in all municipal water systems worldwide is Reverse Osmosis filtering of your water. In the U.S. this is done by companies like Culligan. Boiling water can also kill Cryptosporidium. Otherwise if you get it and have a compromised immune system because of age or illness like being HIV positive this can easily kill you. So, if your immune system is compromised one easy solution would be to boil any municipal water you drink for at least 5 minutes to make sure they are all dead, then let it cool or put it in the refrigerator for later use, especially summers and the fall anywhere on earth. South of the Equator you should do this the warmest times of the year whenever that is.
