Episode 2668:

Stan's question about steam rooms and chlorine gas sparks a deep dive into the distinctions between steam rooms and various types of saunas. While both steam rooms and saunas can offer health benefits like improved circulation and pain relief, Stan's concern about chlorine gas is addressed by explaining potential risks and the importance of proper maintenance. The discussion concludes with advice on who should avoid these heated environments.

Quotes to ponder:

"Steam rooms are heated using boiling water, which of course, generates steam. Instead, saunas often generate dry heat."

"Chlorine gas could become a problem with steam saunas if a salt-based or chlorine-based product is used to clean the steam room."

"The data on saunas doesn’t mean saunas are right for everybody."
