That little girl looks like she's even sick of grandpa's shit. Hair is bone dry in every photo and the only one of her actually in contact with the water, she's kicking it in his face. She honestly looks visibly upset when he's dangling her brother over it.

The germaphobia in me is trying to figure out this thought process... 🤔🧐

Go Darwin! 🎉

Stop calling everyone a "skeptic" and call them what they are: deniers. Anti-science, fact resistant deniers. Calling people germ-theory skeptics, or climate skeptics, or vaccine skeptics, and so on and so on, makes it sound like there's an honest scientific debate going on

If there's any upside to this man being an idiot by 14th century standards it's that he's more likely to get deathly ill.

During similar conditions in the past it has had around 100x the EPA standard of bacterial colonies.

And he's hypocritical enough that I bet he started an antibiotic cocktail before he went there.

Since then, he’s grown a pair of arms and is now trying to conquer the world

I wonder if he started with the conspiracy theories after swimming in this stream for the first time

Fucker probably found the least contaminated part for this stunt.

Good. Hope he catches at least one instance of every shit disease floating in there.

If ever someone truly deserved a Herman Cain award, it's this man right here!

ROFL What is this worm driven host doing?! Doesn't the worm know that E. Coli infections can be deadly for the elderly? (Yes, I am being super facetious because reading about a Germ Theory Skeptic in the modern age has effectively broken my brain. The evidence that proves microorganisms like bacteria, parasites, and viruses are real is truly a massive amount. That's a lot of knowledge that this dumb, incompetent human being is simply ignoring). Ugh, this wasn't on my bingo card for this month. A small part of me hopes that E. Coli proves to him that germ theory isn't something that can be dismissed, and he dies from his foolishness.

Hope natural selection does its thing.

One day is no big deal. If he really wants to make his point, he should do it every day for a month.

(Leave the grandkids at home, though.)

"Germ-theory skeptic"

I'm team bacteria on this one. C'mon little guys - do your thing!

Wouldn't it be an absolute riot of a "leopards ate my face" situation if he ends up croaking because of this?

To clarify: I don't wish any harm on his grandchildren, but this man's level of willful ignorance and sheer recklessness makes it hard for me to sympathize with any negative outcome he may suffer personally.
