Some people think I'm being over the top worrying about this concern. What's the best way we can avoid this? Sorry to hear about your encounter with it

I heard it's more likely to come from bird life but I'm no expert. Would be good to know the truth

I know that watching this sad trend of chucking buckets of lake water over people with a PB makes me wince .
How not to treat a mate eh .
Idiots obviously have no brains regarding Weils 😡😡😡

I have worked in pest control for over 30 years, I can assure you it comes from rats, not birds.
It is passed on through rat urine in the water, but just touching your skin isn't a huge risk, only if you have a cut and the water seeps into the cut. Best not to wash your hands in the lake water if you have a cut on your hand, probably shouldn't wash your hands in the water anyway, but I am guilty of doing that. Work mate caught this and was seriously ill.
