I'm trying to be careful here for fear of being sued, so I'll just c&p from the icWales site instead! following text from icWales, v.long url -
____________________________________ A WELSH pensioner with Legionnaires disease was last night improving as investigations into the outbreak in Hereford centred on a brewery.
Preliminary tests have revealed the legionella bacteria that causes the flu-like disease is present in a cooling tower at the Bulmers cider plant in Hereford.
Public health experts are continuing tests to determine whether this is the source of the outbreak which has infected 10 people and killed two.
Part of the Bulmers factory has been closed but although the leading brewers, which makes Strongbow cider, has admitted that the results were "possibly positive", it said that even if confirmed they would not necessarily pinpoint the source of the outbreak to the firm.
"The results are presumptive positive, or possibly positive but it does not follow that the cooling tower is the source of the outbreak," a Bulmers spokesman said.
"That part of the factory has been closed and will be disinfected as a precautionary measure but the company is operating normally.
"There is also no risk to the public from drinking our products, which are unaffected." _________________________________
