Your skin is your largest organ, I have been told that your skin

will absord water as you bathe, I dont know if chemicals in the

water could be absorbed this way. Seems like it could.

I don't know. I doubt it. In some people mercury causes them to

retain arsenic.

I do not know but I think I would give DDI a call and

ask if they have any thoughts about this.

Only other thought is that ALA removes arsenic.

Is there a filter to remove metals from the bath water? If so, can you give me

some advise on which one to purchase?
