Today, I found out the reason I've been itchy for the last two weeks is because I'm now allergic to chlorine. I'm also a swimming instructor. FML

Allergies are not always present from birth or childhood. They can develop from the environment in adulthood.

Hey I'm allergic to chlorine too, but if you take an allergy pill right before you swim it lasts for 2 to 3 hours and you won't be itchy afterwards.

How do you work as a swimming instructor yet are allergic to chlorine? Where have you been getting your training to be a swimming instructor?

To all the people who said the OP should have known earlier thats not true. Some allergies can take awhile to manifest. I am allergic to chlorine and it wasn't until I was 12 we figured it out after extensive testing. After that and filtering my water the majority of my asthma attacks stopped and I got a hell of a lot healthier as our tap water was high in chlorine.

Hmmmmm they should make a medication that negates the allergy!!! If only..... that would be awesome for you, but that sucks, cuz I'm sure if you did that as a job, you probably loved swimming too. Feel bad for you :/
