Athletes often"relax" in an ice water bath after a tough game to reduce pain. Somewhere around 46 to 50 C the body starts to be damaged by the heat in the water (especially for the elderly). A prolonged bath above 39 C makes the heart work harder. Temperatures from 60 to 70 C can cause immediate harm.
