  1. It does work great for giardiasis. I actually carry about 24 tabs in my emergency kit when long-distance backpacking as insurance against precisely the kind of giardia-induced dysentery you might get in-game from "unsafe" water. Getting it from snow-melt would be rare; more common cause is accidentally drawing water downstream from animal scat. (Yes, eww.) It happens.
  2. I personally find social occasions dreadfully boring until the conversation turns to parasites and pus.
  3. It does seem mighty convenient that all rummaged - up antibiotics are the proper type, doesn't it? I am totally with you on the birch bark tea, especially since the devs won't have to create a new resource chain to implement it.
  4. I suppose the devs intend the in-game antibiotic to be metronidazole, which is actually effective against both bacteria (particularly anaerobes) and parasites. Some fun reading for microbiology geeks about why: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC89320/
