Question:

When i sniff, i can smell chlorine. Is this bad?

It doesn't happen all the time, but i have heard it is dangerous when i can smell it. Is it? and can anyone give me any information on what it is, or how to stop it?


Answers:

If you're smelling chlorine faintly because you're standing next to a swimming pool, that's OK.

If you smell a STRONG smell of chlorine, then yes, it could be dangerous -- chlorine is very toxic by inhalation.

If you smell chlorine and there isn't any around, that's an olfactory hallucination, and should be brought to the attention of your doctor.
