Thanks to you Margaret, Jane and others who replied to my question.  At least now I know what it is and what to avoid.

It causes violent diarrhea and vomiting, Penny.  Some become dangerously
dehydrated from the loss of liquids.  People are advised not to drink out
of any river or stream.  When I was a child, a thousand years ago, I was
always told it was safe to drink out of a free-flowing mountain stream.
Not any more.  Margaret L
