Is it okay to sit in a steam room if you are sick?!


Question:

Is it okay to sit in a steam room if you are sick?

I am getting over a cold and thought going to they gym and sitting in the steam room might help sweat out some toxins. Good idea/bad idea?


Answers:

How about you stand in your own hot shower?
This is not such a great idea ... you don't "sweat out" germs. You do, however, spread germs. Especially in a public place like a gym.
Be considerate, and please don't spread your cold.
