I hope to be able to do this within the next 1-3 months. As soon as I find a house and close on it, I will be installing a whole house filtration system with a water softener. I hope it helps, and I will definitely update everyone. Thanks for the comment dice.

Thanks Ben. Very interesting article, I like in a rented flat (UK) so there’s no chance of me being able to get this done (let alone pay for it) but it’s something that I’ll definately keep in mind.

Wow that is really neat that you live in Barbados! I agree with you and I think the water is a HUGE factor for many people with eczema, hives, and so forth. I know that it has really made my skin unbearable. Thanks again for the comment! Hello Lyn,

I hope they stay like that, but with fall and winter around the corner, don't get too used to the sweat =). I agree that the water softener thing may not do anything, but it is still worth trying. I will keep everyone posted when I am able to do this, and I should be able to test it out within the next month or two. Hey Klope,

Seems like there are far too many factors with water to really narrow it down to that... Then again, who is to really say there are not multiple 'causes (or 'effects', ;p)? Also interesting to say, my urticaria has been acting well. At least for now, it has been really hot and muggy, but besides feeling what I'd believe to be abnormally uncomfortable, I haven't really been getting prickles even. I've actually been sweating instead..it's weird and interesting, but we'll see how long it will last. Interesting theory, though I don’t know if I could possibly jump on the bandwagon.
