I agree with you!
Just this year I discovered I too am apparently allergic to sea water! I went on a cruise last year, swam in the ocean with no reaction. But this year I broke out in what looked like hives, not particularly itchy, but my skin got very red and round bumps and circular spots appeared everywhere the water touched me. It went away in about 1 to 2 hours. It LOOKED a lot worse than it felt. It wasn't like an allergic reaction I get to some medications like amoxicillin. It appeared where I had put sunblock on AND where I had NOT put any sunblock. It did not appear around my bikini suit lines either (so it's NOT micro-organisms). It is sea water!
I love to snorkel so this is a problem. I am seeking a solution.
