Kava Curious
My dermopathy has been slowly spreading during the last few months and it finally reached the stage that people started noticing my dry flaking skin! I would blame it on riding a motorcycle in the wind so people don't think I am on some horrible drugs!
It initially started about 2 months after I started drinking kava, dry lips was the first sign, than flaky peeling skin on my face but now I have it on my arms, belly, back and neck as well. Its doesn't bother me too much as its not itchy or causes too much discomfort. What bothers me most is the social aspect of it as I had a few colleagues asking what happened to my skin.
I decided to take action and stop drinking kava for a few weeks as i am on holiday for a few weeks anyway and it would be easier to do it rather while being stressed during work.
I've read a lot about dermo and ways to prevent it so I find it rather surprising that I got it only after a few months of drinking kava daily.
I've been using only noble kava from reputable vendors I found in the forum. Preparing the kava either with blender+cloth straining or aluball. I find that with aluball I get a bit more pulp in the drink which might be the contributing factor, especially when using 2 aluballs.
Does anyone have any tips about prep techniques to reduce dermo?
I was considering buying a 50 micron mesh filter and pouring cava through it after preparing with aluball or getting a bombilla straw?
