This morning, while swimming at a gym I occasionally visit, the gym staff put up the yellow "do not enter" (police-like) tape and then asked me to leave the pool saying there was a problem with the chlorine. This is the second time in less than a week that the pool was closed down.
A woman in the locker room told me that the three women, who are the most frequent swimmers in the morning, have all come down with bladder infections. They all believe it is from the pool. Does anyone know if this is actually possible? Can you catch something like a bladder infection from a pool? :confused:

My ORL once told me that alcohol can damage the eardrum and to use only vinegar in the ear. It doesn't dry but raise the pH to a level inadequate for bacteria to live.
I use an over the counter ear drop for swimmers. I think it contains alcohol I hope that doesn't damage my drum.
