I have a water conditioner on my shower head and have no problems in the shower. Rain burns my skin and makes me pukey. What shall I do?

You are not allergic to rain you are allergic to the pollutants and or allergins in the rain. Nobody is allergic to water but, rain often contains sulfur, CO, CO2, aresols, etc.. Your body is most likely allergic to something like that. If you live near a factory or powerplant pollutants like that will be in higher concentrations. If you live near or in an urban area or large city you will have pollutants like that in high concentration. The reason you are fine in the shower or bath is because that water that runs through your homes pipes is cleaned and filtered by a filtration plant somewhere near your home. If the allergy is really bothering you then I would go see a dermatologist(Skin doctor) to see what is going on. Otherwise care an umbrella with you at all times. OK, I hope this helps and take care.

Rain dissolves a lot of the junk in the air as it falls. It is probably the dissolved air pollution that you are reacting to. The best thing to do is to stay out of the rain as much as possible.
