It is always recommended to use Chlorine Tablets or Chelating Tablets to purify before first consumption of the spawned liquid OR empty the bottle out and refill entirely from a Water Pump or Spring to be safe.
- Consuming from a bottle shared between a Cholera, Salmonella or Common Cold infected player and an uninfected player can spread the infection.
