Legionella is normally found in water pipes - thatswhy at the hospital we have flush all taps and showers for 2 minutes each day to prevent Legionella from building up.

This makes me very suspicious of Morrison's new fruit and veg displays with the misting devices!

There are hundreds of germs in soil and compost - worst of all a bug that can cause necrotising fasciitis lives naturally in soil - now thats a bug you don't want to get in a cut!

However risky gardening might be, it's not going to stop us, now is it?
Gotta die from something after all!

Lol. I coughed my guts up and had coffee coming out me nose when I read that.

So it looks like garden centres will be selling a new line in chemical contamination outfits. I wonder if they will do one with pretty flowers all over it with matching boots, respirator and decontamination tent.
