Legionnaire’s disease is a severe form of pneumonia caused by a very potent bacterium called legionella. Legionella bacteria thrive in all types of water system: plumbing, swimming pools, bath tubs, and mist sprayers. When released as vapors and inhaled, legionella can cause a host of different adverse complications that might severely compromise one’s health.
Upon exposure, an individual might experience muscle pain, headaches, chills, and a fever that can reach 40 degrees Celsius or higher. If left untreated, legionnaire’s disease might cause a cough that produces mucus or blood, chest pain, breathing difficulty, gastrointestinal illnesses, and mental alterations.
