Forget 75°, just 65°C (150°F) will give you third degree burns in 2 seconds:

Most adults will suffer third-degree burns if exposed to 150 degree water for two seconds. Burns will also occur with a six-second exposure to 140 degree water or with a thirty second exposure to 130 degree water. Even if the temperature is 120 degrees, a five minute exposure could result in third-degree burns.

(°F)

Most adults? What happens to the others?

To be honest three degrees burn doesn't sound bad. I'm looking at my protractor and as long as you aren't far away from the tub three degrees shouldn't burn that much
