Was everyone just sick all the time? How did they keep everyone from dying?
In: 12
It probably literally smells and tastes like shit, and bad smells repel most creatures, as they rely on their senses and instincts to keep them alive.
The ones that drink it anyway and survive, if they understand the source, which could take repeated exposer to increasingly dangerous waters, dont want to feel sick again, and will stop/protect their loved ones from doing it.
They would likely notice animals with stronger senses of smell avoiding the water, or even possibly find corpses of small hunting animals who ate other animals that were poisoned/sick from the water.
Wise elders were once respected leaders and the teachers, and after a few years under your belt, you tend to notice patterns.
