The holiday season is here. Time for fun and relaxation. For those of you who are planning to have some serious fun, this toxicology question popped into my in box.
Which drug is most implicated in deaths that occur in hot tubs or saunas?
The primary drug that contributes to deaths in
hot tubs or saunas is ethanol with cocaine and cocaine-ethanol in combination
as the second most common drug related contributors to these deaths. (Press E.
The health hazards of saunas and spas and how to minimize them. 1991 Am J Pub Health 81:1034-1037)
