I was so excited to learn our pool was finally converting to salt water. While I was swimming, the pool dude dumped 3 huge bags of salt in each lane. That night I experienced sinusitis -- huge thick amounts of mucus (sorry, I know this is gross). That was a week ago. I'm still sick - just tons of gunk coming out everyday, I'm really fatigued, can't taste anything. I haven't had a voice in 3 days (some people are happy about that!:applaud:
I haven't swam since Friday. Is this possible that the sudden onslaught of salt brought this on? I wear a silicone cap and nose clips. I'm trying to do this the natural way - ginger tea, and an antihistamine, but I miss the pool. This is a bummer
Orca, I swim in a saline pool, and the pool maintenance company dumps the salt directly into the pool. They said there was no need to be out of the pool when salt is added-- only when chemicals are added to the pool.
Salt is organic, and if the salt added to the pool is JUST salt, it should cause no health issue. I have been in our pool when salt was added, and it caused no problems for me at all. It just tasted extra salty!
