The effects of hyperthermia include:
Unawareness of impending hazard;
Failure to perceive heat;
Failure to recognize the need to exit hot tub;
Physical inability to exit hot tub;
Fetal damage in pregnant women; and
Unconsciousness and danger of drowning.
In order to avoid the possibility of hyperthermia (heat stress) occurring it is
recommended that the average temperature of spa-pool water should not exceed 40

increase the risk of
fatal hyperthermia in
