CHICAGO (CBS) — We all know how the old saying goes when you travel: “Don’t drink the water.”
Well in Sochi, Russia, you had better not TOUCH the water, either.
When Chicago Tribune reporter Stacy St. Clair, who is covering the Winter Olympics for the newspaper, arrived at her hotel, she was informed that there was a problem with the water and it had been shut off.
Then hotel staff delivered an ominous warning: “Do not use on your face because it contains something very dangerous.”

St. Clair’s tweet about the situation has gone viral.
My hotel has no water. If restored, the front desk says, "do not use on your face because it contains something very dangerous." #Sochi2014—

Water was eventually restored, but it came out of the tap in a less than appealing color.
