I don't drink water out of the tap either. The problem isn't with the shower water either as it occurs before I've had a chance to shower sometimes. I think that this weekend I will boil water for all purposes or use bottled. We haven't a water filter on this boat, though we did on Amos. Time to get one maybe.
I had blood tests and it's definately an infection though it looked to us laymen like an alergy, and we tried and eliminated everything we could think of. At one point I even thought the unthinkable - that we might have to give up the boat! Oh well, I'll keep taking the tablets ;-( Regards Ann
