PSA - it turns out that Chlorine does not burn your eyes or make them red when you swim in a pool.
Your eyes burn because Chlorine, when mixed with urine, creates chloramine, a type of ammonia and becomes an irritant. That is why your eyes burn.
Think about that next time your eyes are red from swimming in a pool - it is NOT from the Chlorine.
You are welcome.

@bethany @sinbach ruined my coffee! 🤣🤣 Next time I go to a pool I'm gonna walk around it and tell ppl to look me in the eye and ask them if their eyes are burning from the water...
