Dear readers, I visited a client recently who had been taking down a
decaying apple tree, by digging around the roots to loosen the
rootstock when the following day the gentleman fell ill with flu type
symptoms, doctors prescribed rest but the symptoms of extreme
tiredness, an interest in nothing including food prompted more tests
which revealed legionaire's decease.
The soil was tested and was found to carry the spores. The man has
since recovered and the soil has been treated. Has anybody heard of
an event like this? Quite astounding ! Steve.
