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!
Elaine, how much salt was added? they added 15 huge bags within 15 minutes while we were swimming.
