I mean… I get the FDA isn’t the trustful advisory it once was, but if I had a few dollars to choose between the “sterilized” gallon jug and a nasal blast from a Texan KOA campsite, I know what’d I’d choose.
I'd go with neither and use water I personally filtered and sterilized for the sake of certainty and safety even if it came from a jug labelled "distilled".
Boiling the water will presumably kill the shit that killed this woman, it will however not remove minerals or other solids.
You probably don’t care as much about the minerals or other dilute solids.
Filtered is insufficient as it removes but doesn’t kill.
You want sterilized water, boiled water, if you want to be real sure get distilled water and boil it, but at least for now water labeled distilled in the USA is good enough
