PERSONAL SAFETY
Prolonged immersion in hot water can result in HYPERTHERMIA, a dangerous condition
which occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level above normal
(98.6° F). The symptoms of hyperthermia include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy,
and a body temperature above 98.6° F. The physical effects of hyperthermia include
unawareness of impending hazard, failure to perceive heat, failure to recognize the need
to exit the spa, physical inability to exit the spa, fetal damage in pregnant women, and
unconsciousness resulting in a danger of drowning.
WARNING:
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of
fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.
Persons taking medications which induce drowsiness such as tranquilizers, antihistamines or
anticoagulants should not use the spa. Pregnant women and persons with a medical history of
heart disease, diabetes, or high blood pressure should consult a physician before using the spa.
