It has been considered for some time that a jacuzzi (a bath with hydromassage) is not only pleasant, but also very useful for health. In any case, this is what advertising says and it is this opinion that the owners of this marker of social and financial success.

However, in reality, the procedure for taking a Jacuzzi bath is also negative. According to experts from the National Jewish Medical Center (USA), people who imprudently installed a Jacuzzi in the house, subject themselves to a constant risk of serious illness. The fact is that the bubbles that escape from the hot bath form in the air the smallest aerosol. Together with it, non-tuberculosis mycobacteria enter the lungs - microorganisms causing a number of various diseases that are difficult to treat.

Doctors say that recently they had to face several cases of cryptic lung disease in children.

It was found that in all cases, small patients lived in houses with a Jacuzzi. As it turned out, their disease was caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria. These mycobacteria under normal conditions do not pose a danger to humans.

Troubles arise when bacteria for a long time fall into the lungs with the smallest droplets of water in the form of a kind of "fog". In this case, patients may be troubled by fever, cough, weight loss, fatigue.

Experts say that in mild cases it can help get rid of the jacuzzi, but when the form of the disease is neglected it is necessary to resort to antibiotics and steroid hormones. Moreover, even the most determined therapeutic measures do not guarantee complete healing.
