💧 Do you know why Legionnaires’ Disease is called… Legionnaires’?
The name dates back to 1976, when a mysterious outbreak of pneumonia occurred at an American Legion convention in Philadelphia.
Over 200 attendees fell ill, and investigators later discovered the cause to be a previously unknown bacterium, now called Legionella, found in contaminated water systems.
This event changed how we understand water safety forever.
⚠️ Today, the risk of Legionella is still very real, but it is preventable with the right management and controls in place.
