Thanks for the great link. This seems to be the case since none of my friends experienced the same issue and how quickly it occurred. That does at least put my mind at ease.

I was really interested to run across this post. I live in Florida and belong to a nudist park. They have a nice hot tub which is kept very warm and can be quite foamy when the jets are on. The water is salt water and it appears to be very clear. There is no chlorine smell to the water so I assume that it is done with bromine. I have never heard of issues with it in the past. Went in it about 2 weeks ago and developed a very intense scrotal itch with a number of red plaques that were limited to my scrotum. Was not sure what the issue was. Finally visited my physician who told me it looks irritated but was not sure what it was. Finally cleared up. I had been getting in my own jacuzzi at home which is sanitized with chlorine with no problems. After the rash cleared up, I went back in the nudist park's jacuzzi again yesterday and noted this morning that I am again all broken out exactly like the last time with red plaques and terrible itching and burning. I had not connected the events until I was talking to a buddy who mentioned bromine allergy. Does this seem to fit with what others know about bromine allergies? It does seem that as I get older, I am getting more sensitive skin. Would appreciate any feedback on this issue.
