What is Leptospirosis, and does Berkey Remove It?
Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection caused by bacteria within the genus Leptospira. It is a widespread disease that can be contracted via direct contact with infected animal urine, or by ingesting water or food infected with the bacteria.
Most cases result in symptoms similar to influenza, but some extreme cases can be fatal.
The Black Berkey Purification Elements have been tested to reduce Leptospira bacteria by 99.6% or higher at contamination levels much higher than found in nature.
One of the most important and concrete steps anyone can take to reduce the risk of Leptospirosis is to put an appropriate final barrier system in place to purify your family's drinking water on a daily basis.
Berkey is the industry leader in gravity-fed water purification.
