Hi guys,

Further from my other post about congestion... I was told to use a neti pot by the doc, but stupidly I have used tap water. Is tap water safe to use? I know a couple of years ago in the USA there were a couple of deaths, caused by the naegleria fowleri after someone rinsed there sinuses with tap water.

Boil it for a few minutes and allow it to cool or filter it and you'll be fine.
