Small swimming organisms in old drinking water?
3 Answers
Hi, I found an old glass of water in our guest bedroom. It had been there for a while and looked horrible and cloudy. On closer inspection there were tiny 'tadpole' like organisms swimming about in the water. My partner says that they were airborne and came into contact with the water and took life. I think they were in the water already and grew, and my friend thinks they grew from bacteria in saliva. All I know is that they look like the aliens have reached earth. Can anyone shed some light on where the hell these things have come from? Thanks, Rebecca
