Why you have red eyes after swimming

Why you have red eyes after swimming

Chlorine is not the cause…

W When chlorine comes into contact with sweat, urine or open wounds, a chemical substance is formed:trichloramine. This causes the strong chlorine smell and irritates the eyes. A pool that smells strongly of chlorine can be a sign that the pool is not completely fresh.

Do you suffer from an annoying cough after swimming?
Coughing is also caused by the combination of chlorine and body substances.

Make sure to enjoy swimming
Don't be put off by this dirty fact. The American center that conducted the study does want to emphasize how important it is to take a shower before jumping into the pool. And don't pee secretly in the pool please.
