A member asked:

With fifth disease could one still swim in chlorine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes and no: If you bean a regular pool, it would be fine. If you are doing some ritual in highly chlorinated water i would avoid it for everybody. The fumes would send you all to the hospital.

Dr Sparacino and another doctor agreed
