Episode Details

Legionella bacteria, lurking in everyday water sources, can cause a sneaky lung infection that mimics pneumonia — and yes, even your car’s windshield washer fluid could be a hidden danger. Inhaling mist from contaminated water, especially in cooling towers or car reservoirs, poses serious risk, especially for older adults or immunocompromised people. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea — and standard antibiotics often fail.

It’s airborne — and everywhere.
