[GBlist] Legionella is your Home - heat your water properly

["John Herbert" <john.herbert@kelcroft.com>]

Hi,

You imply in your posts that you and your family are safe.

That is fine for you, since you are entitled to your opinion, 
my concern is that other readers might mistake your opinion 
for fact. Legionella KILLS 

FACT: 25% of domestic/residential systems are infected

Your messages clearly indicate to me that you don't 
understand Legionella, and have lead you to a false 
sense of security.  Reading one study or a web
site doesn't make one an expert or replace years
of research.

Incidentally, I am not posting here as sales
pitch, got nothing to sell.

NOT AGREED

I dont agree, and it is foolish to post such nonsense,
you know that other readers may interpret your remarks
and believe they are safe too. Legionella is so widespread
that is it likely a readers friend, relative or family member
is suffering right now.
 
As mentioned above you don't even understand the 
bacterium or its modus operandi.
(and Before you ask, I am not going to summarise 10
years of studying Legionella in an email)

<snipped>

Your lack of knowledge is the problem:

- Millions of  dollars in research by leading 
institutions concluded heat water to above 60

- 25% of homes have the bacterium in hot water heaters

- Legionnaires disease is under reported
so people are die without knowing it was
Legionella that actually caused it.

Regards,
John Herbert
