Failure to properly clean a jacuzzi, hot tub, sauna or pool with the proper chemicals can allow very dangerous bacteria to grow and sometimes spread to the patrons of the hotel. In some instances, this bacteria can be deadly and/or extremely serious and can serious illness that may even be fatal. Some examples include Legionnaire’s disease, Pontiac Disease, Recreational Water Illness, (RWI), and even genital herpes. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) the organism that causes genital herpes, can be transmitted by using hot tubs because the virus can live up to four and a half hours on plastic-coated seats that don’t come in contact with the hot tub’s chlorinated water, which inactivates the virus. Not all bacteria is transmitted through the water but can also be inhaled while in the hot tub. People exposed to this bacteria may develop:

Headache
Muscle pain
Chills
Fever that may be 104 F (40 C) or higher
Cough, which may bring up mucus and sometimes blood
Shortness of breath
Chest pain
Fatigue
Loss of appetite
Gastrointestinal symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea
Confusion or other mental changes
Coma or death
