Gorilla wipes was a company started by a friend, and have been using them since he started it. Really good and not wanting to plug him, but for £6 a tub (80) wipes money seriously well spent...

I can remember the days when guys used to use lake water for making tea

Oh god I fished today with a guy who did that...I politely declined.

One of my Friends come into contact with it 5 or 6 years ago, he said "trust me, you know when you have got it". He was nearly a gonner but he managed to tell them early on that he had been fishing a week previous so they caught it in time. To be honest before he contracted it, he didnt care, he would leave everything outside and uncovered.....but now, he has the cleanest Peg on the lake!!!

probably currently out of stock.
i believe that its common practice to change the price to a ridiculous one, rather than remove the listing & put it back up later.

You can never be too careful, my father-in-law nearly died of Weils disease. He worked for the council on the roads and picked it up at work. I always have wipes and anti-bacterial gel with me when fishing and keep some in the car for when I am shooting... being aware of the symptoms to the extent you can raise it as a concern to a doctor is excellent advice.

Wow, I can't say i have ever had any troubles with rats - as most say keep food inside, off the ground and sealed and hang rubbish away from your bivvy common sense really!

You would think that with it being a potentially fatal disease they would raise awareness on the tv programs.
I can't remember ever hearing any angler speak about it on telly i.e. Thinking tackle etc. People new to the sport get to see the guys catching fish, putting them back and never shows any use of wipes etc

Even something like a mention at the end of these programs could raise awareness all over the country!

Just my two cents!
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
