Record year for lemmings in the mountain!

Norwegian institute of public health warns people against drinking mountain water this summer!

Because of lot of lemmings in the mountain this summer, be careful not to drink the mountain water. Rodents are carriers of tularaemia, as most people know as lemmings plague.

When lemmings dies its pollute the rivers, so if you want to drink the water it is advisable to boil water, you can also use chlorine tablets. Symptoms that have been infected can be diarrhea, vomiting and fever.

This applies also to use common sense, if there is a lot of dead lemmings do not drink the water! But it's still nice to go hiking in the mountains this summer, but we suggest that you have spring water with you.
