ReplyDeleteApparently the disease appears to be contracted by older people around 50 and above, or people who have a low immune system through another illness,according to the Health Protection Agency the bacteria is breathed in through the vapours emitted from the water.Symptoms are flu like , high fever ,feeling hot and cold ,headache and muscle ache and coughing.Your both young and have health on your side if you have any concerns speak with your GP for advice.If you look at my blog Archive I wrote a more in-depth blog on the subject a couple of weeks ago.Take Care, I'm sure your both okay.
