fetal damage during the early months
of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly
pregnant women should limit hot tub
water temperatures to 38°C (100°F).
c) Before entering a hot tub, the user
should measure the water tempera-
ture since the tolerance of water tem-
perature-regulating devices varies.
d) The use of alcohol, drugs, or medi-
cation before or during hot tub use
may lead to unconsciousness with
the possibility of drowning.
e) Obese persons and persons with a
history of heart disease, low or high
blood pressure, circulatory system
problems, or diabetes should consult
a physician before using a hot tub.
f) Persons using medication should
consult a physician before using a
hot tub since some medication may
induce drowsiness while other med-
ication may affect heart rate, blood
pressure, and circulation.
