Legionnaires disease

[growshopfrank]

little heads up if your spot has condensate water collecting anywhere it would be a good idea to put a little bleach or vircon in it to disinfect the water on some sort of a regular schedule
a local guy caught legionnaires disease likely from his grow space damn near killed him

Well that's enough to make me paranoid. Damn. I don't find any condensate collecting anywhere in my grow room, but now you got me wondering about the Window AC. I can hear water splashing around in there on humid days, so maybe I should just drip a little bleach in there from time to time...

great post gsfrank
I remember when legionaires disease was an unknown thing when they had their convention in philly back in the late 70s I think.


I just found this, growers need to take notice of this especially if your saving and using condensate run off
Legionnaires' disease is transmitted by inhalation of aerosolized water and/or soil contaminated with the bacteria.
