Have a cold and hot tubbing Posted: 12-20-07 08:43am
I have a cold now and would like to sit in
hot tub. It is located outside in 20
degree weather. Would this affect my cold
in any way?

If you are experiencing the usual common
cold, you should be able to sit in the
hot tub without trouble. But if you are
experiencing something more serious
(bacterial infection, for example) you
should stay at home and rest.
