-----Copper Oxide - What are the symptoms for poisoning?
I live in Cardiff UK and I have a blue tint in the hot water system. When the hot water tank was changed recently blue crystals were found and a blue tint was discovered. Is this copper oxide? I have discovered a rash on my face which is like a dryness of the skin.My partner is also suffering from headaches and feeling nauseous. Any help would be grateful.

You should not be drinking water from the hot water tap Mikey! But please see a Doctor about your headaches and rashes; under the best of circumstances it is very difficult to tell physical symptoms from psychosomatic ones, and toxicological symptoms from flu symptoms, and these are the worst of circumstances 🙂
A plumber or your local health department can probably advise you about the blueness in your water. Good luck.
