How a Public Spa nearly killed my family!

Ok so we wrote a post quite a while ago about what you can catch in public swimming pools and hot tubs. Guess what? one of my family members actually caught Pseudomonas Aeruginos from a public health spa, she went to the local health spa which she always likes to do once a week to have a paddle around in the pool and a relax in the tubs, that night when she got home she complained about itching, we just put it down to dry skin. The next morning when she got up she was not feeling very well at all and we had a look at her rash just below her lower leg. It was big red and looked very sore the only thing I can really remember clearly is the awful smell from it.
That morning we took her to the local doctors and he prescribed some antibiotics and that was the end of that. Definitely not we still to the date do not know what antibiotics he actually gave her, but the next morning she had the same rash all over her body and her throat was swollen, she could hardly breathe. We decided to rush her to the nearest A&E centre, by now she was feeling very week her airways were so blocked up and swollen. When we eventually got in there they put her onto a drip and started injecting her with god knows what.
The next morning arrives the rash has almost gone and she looks so much better, well all I can say is that this was a terrifying time for all of us, I do not wish this experience on anybody and the only advice I can give is to get your own swimming pool or hot tub and keep it clean. If you cannot afford one make sure to ask wherever you are going if they purify there water and how often, if they don’t know what you are talking about stay well clear. Our hot tubs price range from £2495 up to £16995 for our swim spas.

Being disabled hasn’t stopped her from winning a gold medal at the paralympics but has its hinderance.Having limited space at the back of her house and the hassle of going to a swimming pool each day makes having an Elite swim spa perfect for her. She now trains everyday and can relax at the spa end to rejuvenate those tired muscles. The video below shows her practising in an Elite Swim Spa. An elite swim spa is also availble from http://www.hottubs4u.com/
