or outdoor cover.

12.

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.
