Re: Re: Hot Tubs/comment

[Guest guest]

Our kid wcf's doctor told us that if we turned the temperature down to

the low 90's or high 80's the chlorine would work. So we used it and

the swimming pool we then had, and in extremely hot weather, we just

turned the heater off and we all cooled off. However, four years later

we all got a skin infection which our dermatologist told us was most

likely from the tub--we had sold that house by then, so the issue was

solved; the infection was " impetigo, " usually a combination of strep

and staph; recovery was a bit rough--said she, passing the gloom on!

Love to all, with or without hot tubs; we never had any trouble with

swimming pools, our own or public, so long as there was no hot tub

attached. n Rojas, a definite water freak, as were my kids and

my husband. . . .
