Hello everyone,
I find this all rather fascinating, I too have sticky skin when damp, this is the second time. I have read numerous comments and replies on this site and one thing keeps popping up WELL WATER,so here is my story. I started with sticky hands about 2 months ago for the second time since I have lived at my present location of 27 years.I have a well which as time goes by builds up what is known as iron bacteria on the pump, this bacteria is a very slimy, sticky which is usually seen as brown or reddish brown slime in the tanks of your toilets. the last time I had this sticky hand problem I was able to relate it to this bacteria, if you see it on your pump it is really gross and looks sort of like algae but it's not, it can smell like mold, rotten vegetation, sewer water and taste much the same it also sometimes leaves like an oil sheen on the water, they say this bacteria is harmless to us, I don't know I agree with that, I would think drinking allot of this water would leave some sort of residue in your blood stream and on your skin. I have no proof of this and yes my DR. shrugged it off and told me my body was sticky because it was summer, hot and humid sticky, so folks guess we have another nut case here. hope this helps someone I need to have my pump replaced again I had the well shocked but chlorine can't penetrate this type of bacteria sooo... Google it, see for yourself what you think "Iron bacteria in well water" last time I had pump changed stickies went away.
Bug repellent another culprit of summer is designed not to wash off even after repeated washings Off deep woods sticks forever so you don't have to apply it to often but so does there regular off, scared me to death first time it happened so don't over use this type of product and it will come off eventually.
Next denture adhesive another culprit especially in your mouth if you swallow enough, who knows? I am still searching for a definite reason for us sticky people Yeast looking like another culprit I need more info. so hang in there it doesn't seem to be life threatening unless it is systemic yeast infection, still need more info and DR's who listen to us. GOOD LUCK ALL!
