Really Sensitive Skin?
jaw:
No, no eczema and no testing either - the docs who treated them seemed to think it was no big deal. It does not bother them, but it looks painful.
And it does not happen all the time, nor is a seasonal thing.
It seems directly attributable to the tub thoug.

Hmmm, I guess I don't know then. Weird! I would like to know what you find out, though!
*Fingers crossed* I sure hope my luck holds out!
Good luck!

The number one cause of this is someone urinating in the spa and not enough sanitizer.

Ok......... Now I've been in this business for *gulp* 23 years and have NEVER heard this one before. You sure it's #1? Can you please explain how/why/where/when WTF?
Yes urine is acidic, but it's also sterile.

OK, I didn't want to get gross but, urine, feces, and bather waste bear an e-coli based bacterium (hence your mother telling you to wash your hands after using the bathroom) that can breed in hot water.
I got this info from a man named Doug Rice at the CSU water lab many years ago. I don't have the documentation handy but I do need to hunt it down. I will do that and email you with it.
Master! when I can snatch the bromine tablet from your open palm will I be a teacher? :)

Starlight:
I'm with the Doctor on this one--unless someone is suffering from a urinary tract infection, urine should be sterile for most people. See the National Institutes of Health page at http://kidney.niddk.nih.gov/kudiseases/pubs/utiadult/
I'm interested if there's data saying otherwise.
