Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia.
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 dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and
an increase in the internal temperature of the body.
The effects of hyperthermia include:
• Unawareness of impending danger
• Failure to perceive heat
• Failure to recognize the need to exit spa
• Physical inability to exit spa
• Fetal damage in pregnant women
• Unconsciousness resulting in a danger of drowning
To Reduce the Risk of Injury -
•
The water in a spa should never exceed 104°F (40°C). Water
temperatures between 100°F (38°C) and 104°F (40°C) are
considered safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are
recommended for young children and when spa use exceeds 10
minutes.
•
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 100°F (38°C).
•
Before entering a spa or hot tub, the user should measure the water
temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of
water temperature-regulating devices varies.
•
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa or
hot tub use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of
drowning.
•
Obese persons and persons with a history of heart disease, low
or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes
should consult a physician before using a spa.
•
Persons using medication should consult a physician before using
a spa or hot tub since some medication may induce drowsiness
while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and
circulation.
