Boil it man, boil it before drinking !!!

I waked up late this morning ! As usual for late wakings, I missed the first class ... No surprise !!! But the surprise just popped up when before doing anything, like washing my teeth or eating breakfast, I sat at my desk to check my email :

DON'T DRINK WATER BEFORE BOILING IT FOR 3 MINUTES !!!


What the hell was this one ? well the message was short & clear ... They had found some parasite in Oslo's water and now they were using every possible way to alarm and inform people about it. I hadn't watched the news from the night before but I got the alarming email from my university administration ... Well the system alarmed perfect, at least for me. Even my strange neighbor tried to warn me about it.

But as there is always a problem for careless people, when I got back home from university I totally forgot about the whole parasite thing and drank a glass of water from tap !!! DAMN ! whatever I even didnt bother myself to read about it in the newspapers and I found out at night from another neighbor that we were supposed to even wash our dishes with boiled water !!! Very good, I didn't do that as well ... I AM JUST WAITING FOR THE SYMPTOMS TO GO TO DOCTOR :-D

They should think of something soon I guess ... This parasite and bacteria pumping up suddenly in city waters in Norway is not a new thing, last year it happened in Bergen and now in Oslo and god knows where it is going to come up again till they start to care more about the filtration of water as they lack layers in filtration circles here in Norway. The idea that the water from nature is clean and good doesn't work for a big city, Norwegians better change their idea about it faster or they are going to face severe problems. Newspapers are going to write severe critiques about the department that should care about this case and I think someone will loose his seat.
