Re: Hot tubs and hydrotherapy for CLL patients?

[Guest guest]

Would a tub with jets be a safer option? I know hot tubs require very careful maintenance to prevent buildup of bacteria.

I personally find it hard to believe that a hot tub presents a

significant risk to a patient with CLL. The barrier to help protect

anyone in a hot tub will be the skin, and as long as the skin is

intact, the hot tube is unlikely to be problematic.

If addtional assurance is necessary, using chlorinated water, which

most do, prevents bacteria from accumulating. Please go and enjoy the

hot tube!
