Killer No. 10: Hot TubsThe danger: A deadly strain of pneumonia, aka "Hot Tub Lung"
The source: Self
The details: "If a hot tub isn't cleaned properly, bacteria can thrive in the tub's pipes. When you turn the jets on, air bubbles rise to the surface, burst and shoot bacteria into the air."
"Breathing in the bugs can lead to anything from a bad cough to Legionnaires' disease, a rare but potentially deadly form of pneumonia."
Postscript: "Think you're safe sitting on the sidelines? Not a chance. If someone with herpes recently sat on the edge [of a hot tub] and you take their place, it is possible ... to contract genital herpes -- even through a bathing suit."
The bottom line: Make sure to wear a medical mask and full wet suit every time you soak with those dirty, herpes-infected friends of yours.
