     SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

   • Excessive temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy. Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should consult a physician regarding correct exposure.

   • Obese persons and persons with a history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a steambath.

   • Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a steambath since some medication may induce drowsiness while other medications may affect heart rate, blood pressure and circulation.
     HYPERTHERMIA occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6° F. The symptoms of hyperthermia include an increase in the internal temperature of the body, dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness, and fainting. The effects of hyperthermia include:

   • Failure to perceive heat;

   • Failure to recognize the need to exit the steambath;

   • Unawareness of impending risk;

   • Fetal damage in pregnant women;

   • Physical inability to exit the steambath; and

   • Unconsciousness.

WARNING The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of hyperthermia.
