Because of my work being in and around water i'm required to have a vaccination. Will check if it covers Weils disease. Pretty sure it does. Will find out as soon as back at work.
Right then, checked with work and I was wrong the vaccination does not cover weils disease. Sorry i should of checked before.

The commercially available gels are OK but if you know anyone in the medical profession this is the stuff you want. You may even be able to persuade your GP to get a few bottles for you if you tell him that you are at risk of catching Weil's when you are fishing.
