ALLERGY TO WATER: IF YOU ARE HIGHLY SENSITIVE
If the above is not sufficient to relieve symptoms, then you may have to take greater precautions and limit your exposure to water generally as in the detection programme above. Try any or all of those avoidance measures and see how far you need to go.
If you are exceptionally sensitive, it may be worthwhile installing a plumbed-in filtering system of some kind (see below). Some people also find it helps to use a bottled water for cooking, washing vegetables and brushing teeth, although this is costly and inconvenient. Filtered or purified water is cheaper in the long run.
Some people are very sensitive to the fumes of water when it first emerges from the tap or cistern. If this applies to you, try the following measures. Start the bath or basin filling, then leave the room while they fill, with the window open to ventilate. Return and turn off the taps. Leave the room again and leave the water to stand for a few minutes more if you need to. Avoid taking showers. The fumes are more concentrated in newly emerging water. Get someone to flush the lavatory for you, if you can. Keep the lid shut as it flushes.
