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, your are sentenced, like in the movie "Ground Hog Day" - to take chemistry 101 until you get this right! Although, I'm thinking (like waterboarding) this might be considered torture. :) :afraid:Although I took chemistry in high school and earned a A, I hated it and promptly forgot everything I learned. Needless to say, I avoided taking chemistry classes in college!
