New Scientist is carrying this article summarizing some freaky-ass news about tap water and contacts. Their advice: if you wear contacts, don't wash your face with tap water. You could catch a really nasty bug that can cause a potentially blinding condition.

On reflection, sounds kind of Weekly-World-News-ish to me. "MAN WASHES FACE WITH TAP WATER AND EYES FALL OUT", sort of thing. Just how rare is rare?
