to prevent heavy rain falling directly onto the roof or

outdoor cover.

12. Do not stack or store any objects on top of or inside the
sauna.
6. At the first sign of a cold or flu, increasing your sauna
sessions may be beneficial in boosting your immune system
and decreasing the reproductive rate of the viruses. Consult
your physician for the proper treatment and care for this,
before you start using your sauna.
7. Hyperthermia Danger
Prolonged exposure to hot air will 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.
While hyperthermia has many health benefits, it is important
not to allow your body's core temperature to rise above
103°F/39,4°C. Symptoms of excessive hyperthermia include
dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness, and fainting . The effects
of excessive hyperthermia may include failure to perceive
heat, failure to recognize the need to exit, unawareness of
impending hazard, fetal damage in pregnant women,
physical inability to exit the sauna, and unconsciousness.
