A member asked:
Bottom left half of my nail is coming off. i teach swim lessons for up to 4 hours. should be going into chlorinated water for this long?

Likely OK: This was likely due to trauma and a new nail may have formed underneath. Chlorine is most dangerous to your respiratory system. All the best.
