Is it safe to drink rain water?

    The rain water itself should be clean, unless it has fallen through densely polluted air,  so I would trust what falls where I live (SW England) -  but I would not drink water collected from the house roof without appropriate treatment, due to bird droppings and dead leaves on the slates and in the gutters.

    I think the real answer is, it depends.  But the smart answer is just no.
