Hello Tonia,

I have the same problem at times. I get an ammonia smell sometimes
after a long workout on my stair climber and such.

Ammonia is a byproduct of protein breakdown. It means you're burning
muscle. Your workouts are probably too long.

I've had problems
in the past when I use to run where my sweat would drench my shirt and
while running the shirt would brush my nipples and make one or both
bleed. I think it has something to do with salt content or something
in the sweat, though I'm not sure of this. Maybe drinking lots of
water will resolve the problem. If you find a solution let me know so
I can test it out.

The solution is not to do so much freakin cardio. You may think you're
burning fat, but if you smell ammonia, you're burning muscle.

I'm just glad to know I'm not the only one who's experienced this,

Paul

This is sort of a strange thing but the last few of times that I've
done a long workout (30 minutes on treadmill, 30 min on recumbent
bike and trying to do 30 on elliptical) my sweat has started burning
the area under my
eyes.
Since the first time it happened, I've made sure that there's no
makeup or any kind of moisturizer or wrinkle therapy cream on my face.
It only happens when I've been sweating heavily for a while (at least
an hour) and then it only burns the under eye area especially the
left eye. I've
started
trying to drink more water both while I'm exercising and just during
the
day
and I stopped yesterday when I started feeling the sting. I went and
rinsed
my face off and tried to cool down so I'd stop sweating but the
damage was already done. I have a angry red blotch stretching from
the corner of my left eye to my noise almost and an inch the other
direction. The redness under the right eye didn't get as bad and
it's already gone away. Anyone have any ideas why this is happening
and what else (besides not working
out
at all) I could do about it?
