However, I am a firm believer that much of what causes ADHD and ADD has a lot to do with what we now add to our foods, so I guess it shouldn't be a surprise. I like the idea of adding saline. Somehow it seems more natural and more eco-friendly. (btw, I tagged you for a meme!) who would have thought that chlorine could have this affect?

Our YMCA is the same. I think that chemicals in things are the root of many of our ills. But it is so insidious that it's hard to do anything about it.

Triggers my asthma, which is real--but the panic to just "leave" and the edgy feeling comes along with it. Glad you figured it out!! Do you think the smell is linked to a memory?

I heard a lot of pools use saline now instead of chlorine; they do at the YMCA here, which is way better for my hair and the life of my suit. I hope this helps you stretch some of your boundaries and feel less crazy. :P Wow, what a discovery.

Alternatively, try giving an electron to each Chlorine atom you encounter, then they will have full outer shells and be happy (but also negatively charged).

My suspicion is that it is a chemical imbalance in the brain's primitive portion. It would have been wonderful for running away from angry guys in loincloths carrying clubs but not very helpful most of the time today.
