Well, f*@k, I was just in hot springs 2 days ago...
It's pretty rare and only a potential problem if you put your head under the water. Here in New Zealand we have lots of hot springs and that's the reason there's signs saying don't put your head under the water.
It is only a problem if it gets inside your olfactory nerve.
If it’s that dangerous the signs should really say, “Don’t enter. Risk of death.”
It's not though, it's just that not putting your head under is 100% effective at preventing the already very rare occurrence
