reece Educated-Child Registered: 02/27/02 Posts: 366 Loc: Atlanta	hi dr b back in my "youth" i would not have thought twice about getting in a hot tub at a friends house or at a rental beach house....but now! So,the beach house we are renting in May has a hot tub attached to the pool. I know my 9 year old is going to want to get in it; I'm thinking I will want to as well. Is it safe? How do I know if it's treated properly? I've heard of people getting sick on cruise ships in the past few years.... should we stay out of the hot tub? reece
