Can i get infected from an indoor jacuzzi in a rental house (in long island)? i did a basic wash with hand soap but did not scrub down with detergent.

Potentially yes...: Depending on the thoroughness of cleaning, the weakness of the soap used, the amount of microbes in the water, and your level of immunity, there are two types of infections that can cause severe rashes/ folliculitis (a.K.A "hot tub" infections): mycobacterial (eg. M. Fortuitum) and pseudomonal (eg. P. Aeruginosa).
