[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 581687, member: 1233"] i am glad he is better. I really think you should report the Y to your states safety and health dept, in our state and on the fed level it is called OSHA (occupational safety and health assoc), but it is different in some states. They NEED to be reported because they allowed more than one child into a pool with unsafe levels of chlorine and who knows what other chemicals. This is a HUGE problem, and not alerting you when difficult child had symptoms and was so sick is another HUGE problem. You owe it to the other parents to get someone in authority to keep a closer eye on them. OUr local Y tried to brush off this same issue in their pool and the adult female hot tub at the same time. A friend who was elderly was hospitalized due to the pool levels and the hot tub got me - actually ate the swimsuit off my body as I was wearing it. I had an awful rash and reaction, and two top immunolgists think it is what started my psoriatic arthritis - I had autoimmune issues but nothing of that scale until this happened. There can be long term consequences from these exposures. I cannot even be in pools now because it rips my skin to pieces and I end up with huge sores, some are bigger than four by six inches and involve almost all the layers of my skin, even the very deep ones. Even the chlorine in tap water is a big problem for me. You NEED to tell them about this and to get them to realize what a big issue it is. Don't let them brush you off, and notify the state and city health depts about it. It is THAT BIG A DEAL. IF your child doesn't have lasting issues, that is good. But it could be any kid who could end up with long term problems. My elderly friend almost died from complications of infection that set in where her skin was attacked.
