Re: Whirlpools.... yes or no???

[Guest guest]

I just read an article where they said that indoor hot tubs can and do cause

alot of bacteria in the lungs. It has to do with the water being hot and

then when you turn on the jets its vapors go in the lungs and a bacteria

grows there. Normal healthy people get this also and get really sick from

it. They call it Hottub something. I would be very careful..I have an

outdoor hottub that does not seem to bother my son. But now that I read

that I will be much more careful and tell him to also be careful.

The jets in whirlpool bath tubs (hotels or homes) have always concerned

me. There doesn't seem to be a way to really clean inside the jets. When

I see how bacteria and mould can build up easily inside sink drains, I

wonder what is growing inside the jets (which likely stay damp between

uses) and how much of that gets aerosolized when the jets are on.

I would love to enjoy a whirlpool so I wish someone could disprove my

thoughts!

I thought the tubing that ran from the jets never gets a chance to dry in these

things and had been known to grow psuedomonas. Can you bathe with out the jets

running? Maybe that will help.
