generally more common in men.

wonder why

When I did a legionella course for work, we were all asked to name places where it might be possible for the legionella bacteria to proliferate and as we went round in a group saying where we thought it would be possible the suggestions got more and more ridiculous. One of the last places mentioned was the screen wash reservoir on cars which we all had a laugh about. The biologist taking the course said that she'd never heard of it occurring there before and would check into it. Approximately one year later I heard about this on the news. I wonder if this was kick started by us having a laugh and a joke about about it on this course.



Probably not

what the **** is happening to this country i mean for **** sakes buck up when was the last time you were knee deep bathing and drinking the water from your water rezivour?

I really wonder what this country will be like in 20 years

You don't get legionella from drinking the water, but **** knows how you'd get it from your washer jets, as you need to inhale it as a spray. So you'd be having to have your head out of the window whilst operating them. Health and safety advice fail.

Don't use your washer jets as a water fountain
