Hey Kirk;
It's this last bit that has got my attention;

Poor Lester.

Now I have heard this several times over the last little while with
regard to chlorine in tap water. It doesn't make sense to me that my
body would adsorb more chlorine (or flourine or any other toxin) from
water through skin contact than by drinking it. When I drink water the
entire amount goes inside and has to be processed before any of it comes
out again. The internal linings have evolved to be highly adsorbing and
I'm guessing that it is moreso than the skin. I'd like to see the proof
about this claim.
