I've taken many, many cave tours and I always seem to give a few drops on my face (sometimes in my mouth or eyes). This is a little worrying, I never gave any thought to the state of the water before...

I always thought cave water to be pure, guess that's a false assumption, eh? lol

zewlie

Yeah, I would assumed that, too. Then again, all kinds of pollutants can find their way into the water before it drips down that low into the ground.

I though most water would be pure espically as it run down the mountains and caves but not these days as there is so much pollution.
