You don't have any scientific evidence. You don't even sound like you know what you are talking about. I'm not going to argue with you about my experience in the shower either. I mean really, dust in the shower. What the hell is wrong with you? That's absurd.

Kid drinks bottled water? And now he wants to fast to get rid of toxins. He should try teh "Kinoki foot pads" next

Wezil has bird flu

I didn't say I was going to fast. Way to put words in my mouth.

I have been the victim of unfair trolling, and I won't stand for it.

Snoopy is pretty much right. As for your shower reaction, it's more likely to be fungal than mysterious water toxins.

Frankly, your fear of invisible "toxins" is bordering on Howard Hughes paranoia. Tissue boxes do make good slippers though.

I'm not the one making outrageous claims about things in the water that are harmful. It is scientific fact that most things dissolved in water do not remain in steam (ever heard of evaporative distillation? IE, purifying water by evaporating it and then condensing it? No filter used, yet somehow the water ends up fairly pure afterwards...) Nearly everything dissolved in the water will stay in the liquid water (shut up, Krill, I'm basically correct given the composition of tap water).

Further, it has been scientifically shown that bottled water is if anything more dangerous than most (city) tap water. The best study of the matter is the NRDC study that shows there are several significant factors, such as Arsenic, that are present in some bottled water that would be tested for in tap water. Of course, in a small town the quality of tap water may vary; but in any urban area the tap water will be tested hundreds of times per day, while the bottled water in many cases is not tested at all. If you have concerns about your own water, it is fairly simple to test your water to determine if there are contaminants in it; and you absolutely should if you have any concerns. http://www.h2otest.com/ for example for a simple testing kit.

Finally, dust and mold in a shower is MUCH more likely to cause sneezing than anything in the water. Dust can accumulate on the top of surfaces and behind the toilet, cabinets, radiator, etc. (depending on the configuration of the bathroom), and mold/mildew frequently accumulates in showers even in places you cannot see. Dust and mildew are allergens that actually CAN cause you to sneeze, while most 'toxins' that might be actually found in tap water would not have that effect.

Scientific enough for you?

I would never come here to confirm my sanity.

Do You Need a Filter?
The water that comes out of your faucet is probably safe. In general, toxins in drinking water don't exceed EPA limits, but there are still legitimate concerns. From a funny taste to lead contamination from aging pipes, your tap water may have picked up some unsavory additions along the way.

What's in your water? Certain areas of the country are subject to particular toxins, such as runoff from farms and by-products of industry, like arsenic, which can also occur naturally in the environment.

Good article.

Then I would advocate you get your water tested Kid and find out what's in it before you jump to conclusions.

I already use a filter, but thanks.

Don't assume a filter will pick up whatever you are concerned about - if you have a real concern, have it tested. Some things can pass through filters, and some things are a problem in shower water or whatnot that usually would not be filtered due to expense or difficulty in plumbing.
