Anyone else concerned about water that has been left in a hosepipe
and baked by the sun? Mine has a nasty smell for the first minute or
so and, if the hose is set to mist, I wonder if there's a risk of
something nasty being inhaled. Legionnaires?

The Dutch are worried about water left in public showers.

Yes, and so are we! Athletes foot is just one annoyance. There are
many others, dare I say Hep...

They find legionnaires disease in the shower water fairly often.

Now THAT disease is worrying. How do they let it happen?

Essentially it's a fact of life (also tends to occur in
air-conditioning systems).

Showers used regularly are ok. Where I used to work there were a
couple of showers intended to let someone who was going to some
evening do clean up - these were rarely used but once a week, the
facilities people ran the showers hot for 15 minutes to keep them
flushed out. That was the advice they had from health people.
