an increase in the internal temperature of the body. The effects of
hyperthermia include:
a)
Unawareness of impending hazard;
b)
Failure to perceive heat;
c)
Failure to recognize the need to exit spa;
d)
Physical inability to exit spa;
e)
Fetal damage in pregnant women; and

fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.

CAUTIONS
1) Persons suffering from heart disease, diabetes, high or low blood
pressure, any condition requiring medical treatment, pregnant
women, the elderly, or infants should consult with a physician before
using a spa.
2) The consumer products safety commission has stated that the water
temperature in a spa or hot tub should not exceed
104° F. Immersion in water in excess of 104° F can be hazardous to
your health.
3) Observe a reasonable time limit when using the spa. Long exposures
at higher temperatures can cause high body temperature. Symptoms
may include dizziness, nausea, fainting, drowsiness, and reduced
awareness. These effects could result in possible drowning.
