    Water allergy
    I have noticed that every time I travel to the country side (I live in the city) after a few days my body breaks into itchy rashes. I have tried using disinfectant but it does not help. Am suspecting that am allergic to water. Could this be the case? What should I do?

    You may be allergic to something in the water. It is more likely that there is a plant in the countryside that your skin reacts to. You wouldn't have to touch it if its pollen is floating and you breath it. Are you eating something only in the country that you don't normally eat? Is there a piece of clothing that you wear when you go there? Is there a soap that you use when in the countryside? An itchy rash is the skin screaming "get away from me!"

    My 6 yr old daughter is allergic to our well water. We live in the country , they say the waste from the farm animals is going into the ground. It is very common when you have a well and farm animals around. So now we all drink every thing bottled.
