Bottled Bugs

Always check your water bottles before you fill 'em up. Black spots or other sludge on the inside might not just be discoloration-it might be bacteria forming where sugary sports drinks create a sort of impromptu petri dish. Wash bottles with hot water and detergent or put them through the dishwasher. When black creepies form, it's time for new bottles.
