Infected by Bali holy water, woman endures torturous treatment to save sightJenine Briggs caught a serious eye infection from bathing in Bali holy water. An Auckland woman came close to losing sight in one eye after bathing in contaminated water in Bali. During the retreat she visited the Hindu Balinese water temple Tirta Empul, near the town of Tampaksiring, where it's common for visitors to bathe in the temple's holy water. "In terms of timing it makes sense (that it came from temple's water)." While the story didn't name the temple, Briggs said it did identify the Gianyar region, home to the Tirta Empul temple.
