This is a bit of a weird post. But histamine intolerance sufferers will know exactly what I mean.⁣

My gym has a lovely underground pool with sun loungers around it. I find it after a hard work out it is lovely to go and lie there for 10 minutes and meditate.

But here is the weird thing.⁣

Every single time that I go and sit by the pool (not swim in it) I get ill afterwards.⁣

I already know that swimming in chlorine does not normally suit me. ⁣ So I'm not actually swimming. I'm just lounging. It must be the chlorine in the air (it is a very humid environment). ⁣

So I decided to do a test last week I felt pumped after my workout and so I went to meditate on for 10 minutes by the pool.⁣

Guess what? A few hours later I've got the same symptoms that I have had every single time whilst breathing in the chlorine air. A sore throat, a groggy head and brain foggy. ⁣

Two days later (now) I feel fine again.⁣

I know.. it sounds crazy. ⁣

Sometimes I think I am, but this has happened enough times that I now know to avoid the chlorine air! ⁣

(It is underground so I wonder if there is some mold in the air or something?)⁣
