may induce drowsiness while other medications may affect heart rate, blood pressure and
circulation.
10. Extended use of your spa in water temperatures between 100
o
F and 104
o
F may cause
HYPERTHERMIA (elevated body temperature). Hyperthermia occurs when the internal
temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of
98.6

F. The symptoms include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the
internal temperature of the body. The effects of hyperthermia include (1) unawareness of impending
hazard, (2) failure to perceive heat, (3) failure to recognize the need to exit the spa, (4) physical
inability to exit the spa, (5) fetal damage in pregnant women, and (6) unconsciousness, resulting in
a danger of drowning.
11. WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal
hyperthermia in spas.
12. During Winter months where the temperature is consistently below freezing, check your spa
periodically to assure that it is operating correctly and that the power to the spa has not been
interrupted as to assure that the water lines are not in danger of feezing.
13. Do not use your spa alone.
14. Make sure that the following emergency telephone numbers are listed at the nearest telephone:
physician, hospital, ambulance, and police.
15. Have at least one person in the family learn CPR (cardio-pulminary resuscitation). It could save a
