How come animals are fine drinking it? And what about pre industrial people? Was everyone just always sick?

Plenty of animals are riddled with parasites, and early humans absolutely got sick. Think of all the cholera epidemics even in recent history. I’m sure some animals get sick but I’d bet their stomachs are a far harsher environment for bacteria and parasites to survive so it’s less likely for them to be ill.

Honesty didn't expect the answer to be "yeah they are just sick all the time lmao"

If parasites weren't an effective life strategy, there wouldn't be parasites in the world
