This is an old post, but I was hoping for an update on your allergic reaction to your hot tub. We just recently bought a Northern Lights cedar hot tub and I'm finding that I'm allergic to something to do with it. I get red splotches mostly on my arms and face. I can't stay out of the tub, because it's beautiful and wonderful! I've got a referral to a allergy specialist, in order to get to the bottom of this. I'm hoping it's more related to the stain on the outside, the tannins from the fresh wood being released, and NOT the cedar. I don't think the bromine is what's affecting me because I broke out pretty badly after assembling the tub and staining the various pieces.
Thanks very much in advance for any update, findings, etc.
