The steam head is hot. Do not touch the steam head and avoid the steam near the steam head. 

c. 

Prolonged use of the steam system can raise excessively the internal human body temperature and impair the body’s ability to 
regulate its internal temperature (hyperthermia). Limit your use of steam to 10 to 15 minutes until you are certain of your body’s 
reaction. 

d. 

Excessive temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy. Pregnant or possibly 
pregnant women should consult a physician regarding correct exposure.

Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a steam bath since some medication may induce drowsiness while 
other medications may affect heart rate, blood pressure and circulation. 

 

5. 

WARNING

 - 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 an increase in the internal temperature of the body, dizziness, 
lethargy, drowsiness and fainting. The effects of hyperthermia include: 
a. 

Failure to perceive heat: 

b. 

Failure to recognize the need to exit the steam bath: 

c.
