Researchers say 86 percent of the samples from 39 different springs and church bowls they tested contained bacteria from fecal matter like e-coli which can lead to diarrhea, cramps, stomach pain, fever and other illnesses if ingested. (Via ABC)
Some of the water contained up to 62 million bacteria in every milliliter of holy water. The Daily Mirror says, for comparison, British tap water legally can’t have more than 100 bacteria per millilitre.
