Whatever you do, wear gloves. A friend of ours has just very recently
contracted Weil's disease from the stream in their garden and has been
deathly ill.
I am sorry to hear that, what a dreadful thing to happen. I have been
working in the barn all afternoon and I know that we do have rats around
the place - we are rural - I dont usually worry about Weils disease but
I am off to bath and change right now.
