Why Legionella Risk Assessment is Vital

Legionella are small gram negative bacteria that’s thought to have approximately over 40 individual species and most human infections are caused by Legionella pneumophila, which is the reason why it’s so important to guard against it with effective Legionella risk assessment from Dakro.

There are two different types of health effects it has on humans – Legionellosis pontiac fever and the more dangerous and severe Legionnarires’ disease. Pontiac fever is best described as flu-like, with its symptoms consisting of chills, headache, muscle pain and fever and it usually lasts for between 2 and 5 days before it subsides.

Legionella Risk Assessment helps stop Disease

The other form, the more severe Legionellosis disease has potentially fatal consequences, and with people mostly getting the disease from water, you can see why Legionella risk assessment is imperative for all commercial and domestic environments. We don’t doubt you’ve heard about such stories in the news where people have picked it up in places such as hotels, clubs, homes and even hospitals – showing you it can be picked anywhere.
