Patient: Doctor, it hurts when I do this.
Doctor: Then don't do that.

ProPhoto RGB is really a 16 bit color space.  Jpg is only capable of 8
bits.  Convert your images to a more standard color space, such as sRGB or
Adobe RGB before saving as jpeg. As a matter of fact, I would recommend
not
using ProPhoto RGB at all.

For now, the mystery of the blue tint will probably have to wait until you
can put a copy of the image up somewhere.  I suspect it has to do with
calibrating your monitor to a non-native white point, but that's just a
guess without seeing the image.
