1. To split hairs, that should be chromium(VI), according to accepted nomenclature.

Using the Arabic number suggests an isotope, chromium-6, which is impossible.

Not your fault, not all that important, just trying to combat confusion.

4. My city has tested positive.

I don't know about this, but a quick once over shows it is a carcinogen, then again, what isn't these days. But, does anyone know if it can induce skin allergies? Since May I have been breaking out every time I get out of the shower. At first, I thought they were mosquito bites because of how they looked and the itched like a mofo, but when I started a "process of elimination", I realized it was the shower. I know I should have tested my water by now, but the rash goes away after a few hours. I am actually contacting my allergist this week to discuss it, so anyone with info; that'd be great.
