What do you want to know about the cryptosporidium outbreak?

Weather has been appalling in Scotland in the last few weeks flooding all
over the place. Plenty of sheep on the hill, plenty of crytosporidium to was
into the reservoir in one vast deluge.

Don't know about the legal aspects of Legionella testing, but since they may
prosecute the guy in charge of maintenance of public buildings in
Barrow-in-Furness, at least under health and safety legislation, there is at
least a "duty of care" for anyone dealing with air-cooling reservoirs. Pd.
