When You Travel Abroad, Camp or Backpack…
…you run a risk of illness ranging from the inconvenience and discomfort of diarrhea to more seri
ous illnesses caused by protozoan cysts (i.e., Giardia, Cryptosporidium), viruses and bacteria.
The microorganisms that cause these diseases are often found in the food and water you consume.
Lakes, streams and the local water supply may be contaminated.
To minimize the risk of contracting these illnesses, we suggest that you consult with your physician,
state health department or travelers’ clinic 46 weeks before you depart.
And while you are traveling…
• Make sure that prepared food is thoroughly cooked.
• Select noncooked foods (fruits, nuts, etc.) that have intact shells or skins,
and clean your hands before peeling the food.
• Wash your hands with soap and water thoroughly and often, especially
before you eat. Filter all drinking water with your Katadyn Hiker Water Microfilter.
The Katadyn Hiker Microfilter is an essential piece of outdoor equipment. We hope it makes your
outdoor experience more enjoyable. For questions or suggestions, please contact us at +41 1 839
