My BBB is not very good i assume, either because of past alcohol or drug use. But mostly I believe because of antiseizure medication. I use it for anxiety and pain, but overall it's not that great in terms of side effects.

MrsD, your story about nuking the brita pitcher with bleach was pretty interesting, I have a keurig at my house, and im pretty sure that needs some sort of cleaning. I will think of doing that.
