THE USE OF ALCOHOL, DRUGS OR MEDICATION
CAN SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE RISK OF
FATAL HYPERTHERMIA.
HYPERTHERMIA
Since your hot tub can be set to reach temperatures of 40°C (104°
F), users should be aware that extended submersion in water that
exceeds normal body temperature can lead to hyperthermia.
The causes, symptoms and effects of hyperthermia may be de-
scribed as follows:
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body
reaches several degrees above the normal body temperature of
37°C (98.6°F). The symptoms of hyperthermia include drowsiness,
lethargy, and an increase in the internal temperature of the body.
The effects of hyperthermia include:
•
Unawareness of impending hazard
•
Failure to perceive heat
•
Failure to recognize the need to exit the hot tub
•
Physical inability to exit the hot tub
•
Fetal damage in pregnant woman
•
Unconsciousness resulting in the danger of drowning
If you sense any of the symptoms of hyperthermia, safely
exit the hot tub immediately.
