spa/hot tub reaction

[Guest guest]

I regularly excercise at a gym that has a hot tub/spa. I just sat in the thing

for 3 minutes and noticed that the fumes coming from the foaming water, no doubt

laced with chlorine, were irritating my lungs. I got out at that time but the

irritated feeling lasted several hours and seemed to induce some coughing, etc.

Breathing the moist air from spa water cannot be a good thing and the water is

at chin level if one is sitting down.

Even without contacting my pulmonologist I would strongly recommend that you all

avoid the hot tub/spa experience.
