Rainwater seems pure—it falls from the sky, right? Wrong. That rain collects pollution, bird droppings, and airborne chemicals. It’s basically nature’s mop water.
In some countries, people collect rainwater for drinking—but only after treating it. Without treatment, you’re rolling the dice on gut issues. Not a fun game.
Fun fact: Rainwater is technically soft water, meaning it’s low in minerals. But also low in safety if you don’t filter it.
