What Problems Do You Have With Pool Chlorine?

    Mel, throughout the years I used to complain about a “diminishing tolerance to chlorine”. It seems it’s been killing my gut flora and I developed some sensitivities to foods. (gluten and yeasts -baked- stuff) I’m always tired and I can’t sleep well.
    I went for a 2k swim last saturday. When I left the pool my eyes were red, skin itching and reacting. I didn’t sleep that night.
    I guess I’m one of those few that love swimming, but our immune systems can’t tolerate chlorine like everybody else.
    I gotta stick to swimming in lakes during the summer! :)

  2. Leo – Have you tried SwimSpray? I really helps with the problems that you describe.
