So, the other night I filled the bath tub in order to give James a bath. Jenny had made up some special stuff to put in the bath to help with the prickly heat, I think that is what it is called. Anyhow, it is strategic that I did this just after I had decided that I would used filtered water for drinking and things like that, but that I would be OK to use the tap water to brush my teeth with. I must say, I don’t think the water is always this dirty and since then I have resumed brushing with tap water.
Pretty cool that we even have a bath tub, but the water kinda got to me when I saw it.
Jonathan and Jenny says
@ Dan, the water here isn’t always that dirty. I don’t think it is iron, but it could be. I think it is most likely from the great quantity of rain and sand.
Jonathan and Jenny says
@ Dan, I think prickly heat is something like heat rash. I KNOW it comes from being really hot. There is a powder here we can use that helps, but the bath with special oils was to help deal with the real issue, which I believe is plugged sweat glands.
Dan Trampe says
What is “the prickly heat”? And is the water just dirty, high in iron, or what?
Fran and Jan says
Reminds me of the black water up the cano.
