Again, I'm not trying to spread fear or doom, but personally I find this news to warrant taking some precautions.
Here's what I have started doing.
I boil a full tea pot of water ( almost a gallon) and let it cool down. Now I know I have "clean" water. Next whenever I use neti pot ( almost every morning) I pour the clean water into the neti pot and add very fine sea salt and stir. Next I put the net pot in the microwave for 25 seconds.
If the water comes out too hot I just add a little cold water from my tea pot and arrive at a lukewarm temperature.
All this only takes a few extra minutes, but I feel a lot safer.
After all, we're not talking about potential minor side effects. The article said two people died.
Happy cleansing..
