This is why you don’t drink from the hose or the spout on the outside of the house. Cobras. Some remote village in Brazil dug a new well and attached a spout. Then they took video of people using it for the first time. While one of them was washing his hands, a snake comes flying out the spout.
Of course, I drank from hoses all the time as a kid. It’s what you did after a hot summer’s day riding your bikes everywhere, swimming in the North Platte River, and hanging out in a smoky arcade. None of it with any sort of adult supervision. We’d pick the hose straight up out of whatever mud it was sitting in, scrape a little crust of with our fingers, and down the hatch. I’m sure I swallowed a couple black widows and multiple forms of scary bacteria.
