3.2 Hyperthermia
Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia (over-
heating). The use of alcohol or drugs can greatly increase the risk of fatal
hyperthermia in spas. A description of the causes, symptoms, and effects
of hyperthermia are as follows:
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches
a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6°F
(37°C). The symptoms of hyperthermia include drowsiness, lethargy
(fatigue), and an increase in the internal temperature of the body (feeling
of being too hot). The effects of hyperthermia include:
• Unawareness of impending hazard;
• Failure to perceive heat;
• Failure to recognize the need to exit hot tub;
• Physical inability to exit hot tub;
• Fetal damage in pregnant women; and
• Unconsciousness and danger of drowning.
