Experts are trying to find the source of the infections
140 people have been infected and 16 have died after an outbreak of Legionnaire's disease in Europe. The bacterial infection has been found in Poland, in a region where US and UK troops are stationed as part of the Ukraine war effort.
Experts in the eastern European country say it could come from rarely used plumbing, where the germs could have spread in high temperatures during the recent heat wave, reports The Mirror. The region of Rzeszow is a key transit hub for international military support following the war in Ukraine. Some 10,000 US troops and 400 UK troops are stationed in the area.
According to the NHS, symptoms include a cough, shortness of breath, a high temperature, flu-like symptoms and chest pain or discomfort. People with such symptoms are advised to contact a medical professional and tell them if they have been staying in a setting such as a hotel, spa or hospital in the past 10 days.
