Legionnaire’s disease
Legionnaire’s disease is a form of pneumonia which occurs when legionella bacteria infect your lungs as a result of breathing in tiny drops of contaminated water. It is thankfully not contagious and does not spread from person to person.
Where is Legionnaire’s bacteria found?
Legionnaire’s bacteria is found in the water in air conditioning systems in big buildings such as hotels, hospitals, museums and office blocks. It is also frequently spotted right at the beginning of the holidays because air conditioning units and showers have not been used during off peak times. Large buildings are more susceptible to legionella contamination because they have huge, complex water supply systems where bacteria can spread at alarming rates. Other sources are:
- Air conditioners
- Dehumidifiers
- Fountains
- Hot tubs
- Jacuzzis
- Ponds
- Rivers
- Spa tubs
- Water pipes
- Water coolers
Symptoms of Legionnaire’s disease
- Aches and pain
- Breathing Difficulties
- Coughing
- Cramps
- Fever
- Headaches
- Nausea
Time Frame for Symptoms to Develop
Symptoms of Legionnaire’s disease typically develop within 24 to 48 hours.
Treatment of Symptoms of Legionnaire’s disease
If you have Legionnaire’s diseaseyou should rest, drink plenty of water and try to keep your energy levels up. A visit to your GP or Hospital and treatment with antibiotics may be necessary if the symptoms do not disappear fully or your symptoms are particularly severe.
Further guidance can be found on the NHS website.
