Guest Kevin Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 It is possible to be feeling under the weather after being in the hot tub. The causes are numerous. Was the water too hot? 104 degrees is the hottest you want to go. How long were you in the hot tub? Are you on any kinds of medication such as antihistamines, vasoconstrictors, vasodilators, anticoagulants or diuretics? Had you been drinking? Though many of these factors might not make you feel flu like, they could be the cause for the achy body. What are your chemical readings? ph, disinfectant, alkalinity combined chlorine? If there is not enough sanitizer in your hot tub, there is a chance for pathogenic growth which could lead to serious illness. If there was too much, that could also cause a reaction. Sorry this isnt more direct in an answer for you, but without knowing the specifics it is hard to get an accurate assessment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bee Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 You might want to lower your temperature. I get sick when i get in a hot tub as well. It was at 104degrees. We decreased the temperature and i didnt feel so sick the next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
