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.

@sinbach ...that just ruined my day. Satisfied? You happy now?

@bethany oh wow. that was some straight up Jedi stuff. TOUCHÉ

@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...

@bethany @sinbach my aunt was at the pool with her son and he came to her and said he had to pee. She told him to just pee in the pool. When she turned around there he was standing on the edge of the pool peeing into it. Poetic justice was served.
