My New Project arrives after a 44 year wait!
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Not sure if the story is true but there was a spike in Weil's Disease in the Liverpool area a few decades back believed the source was traced to 'Fashion Drinking' out of a bottle instead of a glass - infection path was thought to be infected rats in Pub Cellars peeing on the crates even though some were cling film packed.

There’s a local guy here in Orkney that was a creel fisherman. He was just in his 20’s when he contracted Weils disease he was in a coma for weeks and ended up brain damaged and in a wheel chair permanently.
It is reckoned his creels that were ashore for whatever reason were urinated on and entered his bloodstream via a small cut on his finger. Certainly ruined his life. (Frightening)😰😰
Oddjob:
How long ago was this Johnny, I'm wondering if it was a long time ago and advancements in antibiotics mean that Weils is not as bad as it was in the past, like Polio for instance.
Johnny4428:
Not sure Ken, probably going back to sometime in the 80’s, definately long time ago.
