In Response To: Re: What does nitrate feel like? (Fran)

Gad, as with smells, it's a little hard to describe - kinda scratchy? I can't feel it at super-low concentrations - I can feel it when it's time for a water change. I don't know if it's something anyone can feel - I may just be sensitive to it. There's also the possibility I'm really feeling DOCs instead (dissolved organic compounds).
