Re: : pool chlorine

[Guest guest]

,

My daughter experiences the same thing. She never had this before this

year. But, 2 times we went swimming indoors and she got sick

immediately-was even in the hospital after one exposure. She was also at

the same time being exposed to pen. mold, which she cannot tolerate in any

amounts. It seems while she is being exposed alot of things bother her:

foods, smells, exercise. Since being taken out of the exposure area she is

able to tolerate these better. Alot of people that I have spoken with, also

some here on the board cannot tolerate pools either because of MCS. So, we

are trying to avoid any triggers. With the help of some here we have been

able to make our home safe for her so her body can rest, then when she is

exposed her reaction isn't as bad.
