Some chemically sensitive people find they are sensitive to water that they drink or use ki daily life, due to minute traces of chemicals and metals. For some people, it is enough to take care with water that they use for drinking and cooking. Other people, if they are highly sensitive, are affected by washing with, or touching tapwater; some even by inhaling steam or vapours from standing or running water – a flushing lavatory, for instance. Sensitivity of this degree is rare, however, and for most people, it will be sufficient to avoid ingesting the water that upsets them.

Any of the symptoms of chemical sensitivity can result from ingesting, inhaling, or contact with, water. This section covers the substances that cause reactions to water, how to detect sensitivity to water, and what you can do to avoid problems. There is detailed information on different types of water treatment equipment and advice on what to buy.
