weils and lepto are the same thing. Carried not just in the dust of pidgeon crap but within rodent urine. As you can imagine, anywhere that water rests is a potential host. From puddles to canals to riverbanks to waterfilled trenches. The emphasis is upon clean hands when eating/drinking and NOT rolling fags without washing hands in hot water first. There are symptoms to look out for and from memory, swift medical attention is a must. The details beyond this are somewhat hazy as it`s been a while...Would anyone care to put a thread together where we can discuss mitigation for specific threats?[?]
