What kind of parasite do you have? How do you know that you got it from well water? I have a well! I hope I don't develop the same problem. You should really go to the doctor.

Those are good questions. Wouldn't boiling the water before drinking it solve those kinds of problems?

I think you have to add bleach to the water but I don't know how much..see if your local water dept knows.

I would say a filter is a great place to start. But i do believe there are people that dig the wells that would have more detailed information on how to get rid of the problem. There may be a "harmless" chemical solution you can put in the water.? I would ask someone that knows and deals with this everyday for a solution to the problem.
