The parasites in tap water mainly affect the digestive tract, so don't hesitate to shower. Just be sure not to swallow water in the shower. Use bottled or boiled water for brushing your teeth.
Remember not to let KIDS drink tap water or bath water either. It is NOT true that the kids are immune to the bugs because they've lived in the country. You DO NOT build immunity to things like Giardia. In most countries with an unsafe water system, even orphanage kids are given boiled or bottled water.
