Legionnaires in Stagnant water concern?

[tan235]

Hi TEAM!

I know it’s a ridiculous time to expect a response but what do you think?
I recently was cleaning out a shed, there was a plastic container in there and once I opened it, mold came out and water droplets.
Straight into my face. - fantastic.


My question is, I know that mold is not linked to Legionnaires but the water droplets could they potentially carry it - anyone here know.


Some of the water flicked up to my face - it was probably 3-4 months old sitting in that plastic container incubating away!
Is this a cause for concern in our opinion?


Thank you and have a wonderful XMAS


Slightly paranoid but trying to not be.

Legionella bacteria is harmless if swallowed, it can ONLY cause legionellosis if inhaled in aerosol form. So unless you used a shower head set to "fine mist" or some kind of explosive to atomise the liquid, I can guarantee you 100% that you will not be infected.
