– Why is it bad to use my water bottle for multiple days without washing it?

Question

I either drink it all or I dump it and put fresh water in. What are the risks if I don’t wash it? It’s just me drinking out of it. I’m talking days and days like why ever wash it if it’s just me?

Edit: Clarified the amount of time without washing

I have been using reusable bottles for 15 years I’d say and I hardly wash it just when I can taste or see it getting skunky. Water is usually purified. I’ll let ya know if I get sick or die.
