Help! I am slowly losing all my body hair; arms, underarms, eyebrows, etc. I have been swimming 4X3500 per week for several years. This seems to happen when I have big months - I did 60+ miles in December. Is there anything I can do to alleviate this, and what other effects can I expect?

Ah yes, this reinforces my decision NOT to sit in hot tubs.
I also use a chlorine blocking lotion (DermaSwim Pro) when I swim. It has vastly reduced the itching/rashes that I get from swimming and I no longer reek of chlorine for days.
Yes, I'm sure that immersing myself in chlorine is bad, but I feel worse when I don't swim.
