Anything above 104F/40C will rapidly lead to heatstroke in humans, that’s why hot tubs are kept at 100-102F. Depending on human, you’ll last 10-20 minutes, but the flesh eating bacteria or brain eating amoeba might still get you.

It’s so rare that the trainees never see any patients with it. The consultant asked me if I was OK for all the doctors there that night to have a look. They were fascinated but I was in a fair amount of pain!
I had to apply drops of what was effectively bleach to my eye for six months to ensure it went. Very painful. The diagnostic process was incredibly painful too. I can’t wear lenses anymore as I think my cornea is permanently damaged. Luckily my vision is back to normal but took nearly a year to recover.
Don’t sleep in your lenses. Don’t wear lenses in the hot tub!
I know this isn't a solution for everyone, but if a candidate for corrective surgery (PRK, LASEK, LASIK, etc), I highly recommend it. PRK was the best $3k I've ever spent. 20/15 vision for over a decade since surgery, no need to worry about glasses or contacts. Might be able to get away with LASIK or LASEK for faster recovery, I went with PRK and a bit longer recovery time because I live a life where head trauma is more likely than not (which can cause corneal flap complications).
Wanna add some context here?
That one is naegleria fowleri, which just loves warm, even hot water [1]. It's incredibly rare, but incredibly deadly.
> flesh eating bacteria
That is vibrio vulnificus [2] or a bunch of other bacteria which love brackish water [3].
