Subject: allergies after open water swims?I have a uncommon problem. If I swim in a fresh water river or lake I will have a sever allergic reaction to it starting about 2 hours after, and it lasts for 2 days. I will have soar throat, itchy eyes and a very runny nose. I think there is water getting in through my ears, because I a wear earplugs it sometimes will avoid the problem. I swim in a masters swim all winter in a pool and have no problems at all. I can go all spring / summer with no allergies untill I go swimming. Anbody ever hear of this? I am thinking it is something in the water like bacteria or bug or whatever. I would love to find a cure or prevention. Earplugs are a pain and unrealible. Thanks |
