A member asked:
I was in a geothermal bath with sulfur minerals/mud and my eyes got irritated and started stinging for over an hour. should i be worried??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sensitivity varies: Geothermal baths can increase vascular size and volume which can cause some increase in eye redness briefly. This is the most likely thing you have experienced although slight irritation from the bath salts might also be operative. This should all fad quickly as geothermal baths are not toxic in any known way.
