    are allergy sneezes contagious?
    If a person with allergies,sneezes into a public pool, will this cause illness? My husband had pneumonia and I worry about this reoccurring?

    No, that will not cause illness unless the person sneezing is suffering a bacterial or viral illness. At that point the chlorine should kill the virus or bacteria.
