Salt water conversion made me sick?

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

  • Elaine, how much salt was added? they added 15 huge bags within 15 minutes while we were swimming. Our community pool is a shallow 5-lane, 25-yard pool. I don't recall how many bags they added, but it was several. Not 15, though! :afraid:
