AVOIDING THE RISK OF HYPER-
THERMIA
Prolonged immersion in hot water can
result in HYPERTHERMIA, Hyperther-
mia occurs when the internal temperature
of the body reaches a level several degrees
above the normal body temperature of
98.6°F. The symptoms of hyperthermia
include an increase in the internal tem-
perature of the body, dizziness, lethargy,
drowsiness, and fainting. The effects of
hyperthermia include failure to perceive
heat;failuretorecognizetheneedtoexit
spaorhottub;unawarenessofimpending
hazard;fetaldamageinpregnantwomen;
physical inability to exit the spa or hot
tub;andunconsciousnessresultinginthe
danger of drowning.
WA R N I NG
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication
before or during spa use may lead to
unconsciousness with the possibility of
drowning.
TO REDUCE THE RISK
OF INJURY
• The water in a spa should never exceed
40°C (104°F). Water temperatures
between 38°C (100°F) and 40°C are con-
sidered safe for a healthy adult. Lower
water temperatures are recommended
for young children and when spa use
exceeds 10 minutes. Extended use can
cause hyperthermia.
• Since excessive water temperatures have
a high potential for causing fetal damage
during the early months of pregnancy,
pregnant or possibly pregnant women
should limit spa water temperatures to
38°C (100°F).
• Pregnant or possibly pregnant women
should limit spa water temperatures to
100°F (36°C). Failure to do so may result
in permanent injury to your baby.
• Do not use spa immediately following
strenuous exercise.
• Obese persons and persons with a his-
tory of heart disease, low or high blood
pressure, circulatory system problems,
or diabetes should consult a physician
before using a spa.
