Allergic to chlorine?

I've been swimming regularly for about 17 years. About ten years ago I suddenly was allergic to all kinds of Eau de Toilettes/Aftershaves and Deodorants. It happened over night. Then about 5 years ago I started to need a nose clip or else I would have a runny nose for the next few days. Recently after each workout my armpits are red and burn:badday: I don't know if it's a reaction or result from the chlorine. Anyone else know these problems?

    I wasn't anywhere near y'all, but I have asthma and chlorine can really trip me up, so I have to use my inhaler 30 min before I swim. Chlorine can trip up anyone if the levels are too high and/or there isn't adequete ventilation. It's just like inhaling some bleach...not good. I hope y'all are ok now :)
