I am asking the Dan doctor we see if my son needs to take a digestive enzyme before swimming >> Hi, Everyone....this kid died just like anyone else who has inhaled too much water into the lungs.....only he had a delayed response. Taking enzymes for chlorine isn't going to do squat. Enzymes work on the digestive system....not inside the lungs. This kid got water into his lungs, not enough to drown immediately, but enough to cause the lungs to react shortly after and he died because the lungs reacted because they could not get rid of the water. The news said that up to 10% of drownings occur like this. Take care, Everyone Margaret **************Get trade secrets for amazing burgers. Watch " Cooking with Tyler Florence " on AOL Food.
