Can anyone give any tips on what these are, if they will make me sick or do i need my eyes checked. I have a 70 oz camelback, and it has 4 small brown spots inside. I put some diluted bleach in it, so what ever it is cant be alive, but then i tried to scrub it with a paper towl and a stick (us jersey guys are real classy) to no avail.

Any thoughts?

:D

Did you ever put any iodine tablets into the bladder? If so, there's your answer.

Aqua Mira's not iodine. It is iodine free.

I only got spots in mine from iodine tabs. Learned quickly to give them a minute to start disolving and then shake it up, the tabs leave a tough to remove spot very quickly. Harmless though.

If you have one, just use a long-necked scrubber (like this (http://www.amazon.com/Quickie-126-Bottle-Scrubber-Pad/dp/B000H0IOPG)) that you would use to wash out the inside of a glass with. The cleaning kit Camelback sells uses what is essentially a cut down, skinnier version of one of these. It'll take off anything that doesn't belong there quick, while leaving the bladder intact.:)

I mixed mine with one tablespoon of bleech in my Camelbak. Depending on the size of it, you may need two
