Legionnaires Disease



Actually it was a Legion convention, held in Philadelphia, after which quite

a few individuals got sick (some died).  The little critters were living in

the A/C system.

	As to the legionaire's issue:The desease got it's name from an

American Legion Post down 	wind from a cooling tower which bred the

bacteria which causes the desease.Several of those 	whom frequented the

post contracted the desease and died , hence the name.
