A member asked:
Does showering with highly iron concentrated water will make the iron penetrate the skin and go in the blood stream ? does iron penetrates skin ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No absorption: Iron from the leaching of your pipes in the water supply will not be absorbed through the skin. It is not toxic so there is no harm either. If you are iron deficient, there are very inexpensive supplements in any pharmacy.
