Water born diseases are caused by pathogenic micro-organism which gets transported to human body, with the consumption of polluted water. Take a look at what great threats can water filters save you from! Here are TEN REASONS!

Amoebiasis:

This disease is caused by protozoan living in non-heated water. The patient will complain of abdominal discomfort, diarrheal problems, nausea and abdominal pain. In case of extreme attack, patient starts loosing weight.

Botulism:

The main germ bearer is the Clostridium Botulinum bacteria. The disease is not that common among people but can be lethal one. Patient will suffer from heavy eyelids, muscle weakness, dryness in mouth, vomiting and blurred vision.

Cholera:

Another lethal disease and it was once feared as the taker of many lives. Patients apparently die from excessive nosebleed and vomiting. The disease easily takes the epidemic form.

Diarrheal disease:

This disease is a pretty common one, especially in countries where monsoon is heavy. each year hundreds of kids’ lives get cut down in their primes due to this disease. It causes severe dehydration which eventually leads to death.

Dysentery:

Dysentery is much more serious a problem then Diarrhea. Although in both the cases patients seem to have similar complaints, but Dysentric patients suffer from acute abdominal spasmodic pain. In severe cases, anal bleeding happens.

Typhoid:

Another bacterial infection resulting from consumption of contaminated water and often patients have high fever for long period. Other symptoms include profuse sweating, nonbloody diarrhea and gastroenteritis. Rarely some flat rash spots might seem to appear in the body of the patient.

Polio:

Once considered as the greatest threat to world health- Polio virus also gets stimulated in non-filtered water, especially when gastro intestinal zones get exposed to untreated water.

Hepatitis A:

A viral infection caused from exposure to Hepatitis A virus- it is more widely known as Jaundice. Malfunctioning of Liver is the main symptom of the disease; also patients suffer from nausea, weight loss, abdominal pain etc.

Hepatitis B:

Its one of the most lethal from of Jaundice. Often, such jaundice leads to Liver Sirosis or liver cancer. It affects the pancreas and the gallbladder. Decreases the amount of bile juice secretion. As result, the person affected finds lack of appetite, suffers from abdominal pain, rectal difficulties as well as tremendous weight loss. The most fearful part is the transmission of the disease, which can take as horrendous form as epidemic. Needless to mention, the germ of this disease is water borne.

Leptopirosis:

This disease has many names: Weil’s disease, canicola fever, nanukayami fever, canefield fever, 7-day fever etc. In some cases of infection reports of flu like fever has been recorded while there are cases where the patient have no complain. But what comes next to the flu period is worst- it is often followed by Meningitis, Liver malfunctioning etc.

One thing can be deduced from the above discussion: while it is true that the other name of water is life- it is also undoubtedly true that- contaminated water becomes the most horrible threat to life. So, water purifier in every household is more than necessary.
