Just one of many diseases in that place.

Would make a great commercial for bleach!

This guy is a disease vector for sure.

The wages of sin are death.

That is meant literally too.

Indoor hot tubs are just a bad idea. Seriously, even with the goings-on in that tub, keeping the water in the tub safe and sanitary is trivial with modern treatment systems (especially with a salt system). The problem you get is all the water vapor that gets in the air goes *somewhere* and generally condenses out on a cold surface. Since it is inside in this case, that cold surface is typically also inside the house, and the the water causes all kinds of science projects, wood rot, etc.

Designing indoor spaces for pools and hot tubs is a non-trivial undertaking. At least if you want to do it right.

This is how I imagine a conversation between Mansion visitors goes: You went to the Playboy Mansion and ONLY got Legionaire’s disease? You lucky B@ST@RD! James went there last week, and he will probably die by monrning!

Sounds like a cesspool with chicks.
