Is your water making you sick? Have you ever tested it?

But given that I am a parent with two children, I am tempted to go purchase the test case to understand how safe the water in my home is. So if you ever test the water in your home, please do share

Suda. Thank you for sharing this. This is actually a topic I'm pretty passionate about because I've been dealing with some water issues where I live here in Pittsburgh, and it wasn't until a pipe had had to be replaced by the city that I discovered the water supply in my personal home, and I knew that this is potentially an issue in Pittsburgh in general when it comes to water, but I think I minimized it just out of my own sense of overwhelm

And so that's another thing to take into consideration now. So while you're trying to avoid the toxicity of one type of water, you might be in advertently taking on toxicity from another type of water
