That is the issue. Short of going back sometime in the past 100 years, any time before that you will need skill to survive. It was rough from the 19th century and back to live.

Oooo... I am used to quality tap water... if we go back in time will be inoculated against everything including needing to drink so-so water...? Otherwise you are going to have some nasty time until (if) your body adjusts.

Good point. The modern person is so clean that we probably will be so sick when we go back.

Even today... "Don't drink the water" is a normal saying for people vacationing in exotic places.

Meh, you can usually tell if water is good to drink, even shitty places tend to have clean tap water, the WHO looks over it and generally helps to keep it clean. You have to go to some really shitty back water places to get sick off the water.

Water isn't the issue. Its the food and how its prepared and so forth that is an issue. Your body is used to food cooked a certain way and even the same food. Go to a different place, between a different environment and different food, people can get sick.

If you had greenapple squirts for a month you would likely end up dead. Dehydration would kill you.

Yeah getting the squirts for a month period is bad for you.
