wenn dich die rache erwischt hat und es dir so richtig dreckig geht kriegst du in ägyptischen apotheken immer auch die gelben antinal(heißen die so?) zu den anderen tabletten. dann sitzen morgens und mittags beim essen die leute immer etwas blass bei ihrem brot und tee und hauen sich die gelben rein*gg*

Wer jetzt auf Leitungswasser umsteigen möchte, dem empfehle ich die Lektüre folgenden Beitrags, den ich aus einer Emailliste für euch rauskopiert habe:
"The question of just how safe Cairo tap water is has come up several times.
I've worked on several USAID water/wastewater programs in Egypt and the word
from the experts I've worked with is that Cairo water is safe when it leaves
the water treatment plants.
However, Cairo's underground water pipes are aging and contaminated ground
water may enter the pipes between the plant and your tap. The contamination
can include dangerous concentrations of pathogenic organisms including
bacteria, viruses, protozoa and metazoan. The main threats they present are
cholera, typhoid, paratyphoid, infectious hepatitis, leptospirosis,
gastroenteritis, cryptosporidiosis and amoebic and bacillary dysentery. The
further away one is from a treatment plant, the greater the risk of
contamination and there is no guarantee that the chlorination levels will be
sufficient to kill the pathogens in an influx of contaminated ground water
close to your home.
The problem is compounded by negative pressure. Because the Cairo water
pressure is insufficient to reach higher than the third floor in most parts
of the city, many buildings rely on tanks on the roof top to provide
increased pressure. The pumps which supply these tanks are often attached to
the main water pipes or mains that enter the building resulting in negative
pressure inside the pipe, increasing the likelihood that underground sewage
could leak into the pipe. It's against the law for this reason to install a
water pump directly to the main water mains but nearly all buildings I've
lived in operate this way. Chorine can also evaporate from roof tanks and
they are additionally often contaminated with dead rodents, birds, etc which
have added health dangers such as hantaviruses.
At home I boil tap water - which and then after it's cooled use a Brita
filter to wash vegetables, cook pasta and for tea/coffee.
Most water filters will help improve the taste but they will not make
contaminated water safe to drink."
