Jacuzzi!!

This RA Factoid is brought to you by my friend RK!

Apparently, the word "Jacuzzi" started out as the last name of a family of Italian immigrants, who were originally aircraft manufacturers. But the seven brothers decided to switch to making whirlpool-treatment hot tubs in 1948. Their inspiration for creating such a soothing and therapeutic wonder? One of their sons suffered from RA! So every time you find relief in a jacuzzi, you can thank the Jacuzzi brothers for their quest to help those of us with RA!
