Do sauna timers have to be more accurate than egg timers?
They are usually standard mechanical or digital timers installed on a sauna. Again, it doesn’t often matter if the timer runs 22 minutes instead of 20 minutes. However, yes, sauna timers have to be much more accurate than egg timers, PLUS, they have to be more reliable. People actually die every year in sauna accidents when the timer fails, and they have for some reason passed out in the sauna without a friend to monitor them. Alcohol or other intoxicants are often involved in sauna deaths. Alcohol, and I presume other intoxicants, do not go well with either saunas, or steam baths, because it makes it too easy for the subject to lose consciousness. Addendum: Something happening here I don’t understand in re: YA.
