I also met a lady who was a nurse yesterday at the springs and told her about this problem with the itchy bumps and she seemed convinced that it was some kind of allergic reaction. I told her that I've had more trouble with allergies in the last 5 years, specifically sinus congestion, sneezing and itchy eyes in the spring. I've heard that more and more people in the U.S. are coming up with allergic syptoms. The latest I heard on the news a couple of days ago was that many of these allergies have resulted form people growing up in environments that are two clean which is a supprise cause you'd think that it would be the opposite. Apparently people are getting less exposure to substances that in the past they would have been exposed to and therefore they are reacting abnormally to things in the form of an allergy. Anyway this nurse said that Bynadril ( I probably spelled it wrong ) was the best over the counter aid she would suggest from her experience for sinus allergies. If I remember our conversation correctly I think she also said that taking the Bynadril might also help with this possible allergic reation from the hotpool water. I may have heard her wrong on that last point. Does anyone know if taking Bynadril allergy medication would make sense to help with an allergic reaction on the surface of the body, if that is what these syptoms are about. Since it goes away completely without a trace I don't think its possible that this problem is and infectious agent. I think the allergic reaction theory seem to make the most sense. Any suggestions are appreciated :-)
