Weil’s Disease & Lyme Disease

WTT supporters should be interested in an excellent leaflet from Dorset Wildlife Trust on the perils of Lyme Disease and Weil’s Disease.

We as watery workers and fishers should be acutely aware of the risks, especially from Weil’s Disease and take precautions against it: hygiene measures before eating, smoking or drinking, good PPE such as gloves whilst working in water or on the bankside and cleaning and covering any cuts or abrasions on body parts that will get wet/​muddy.

The leaflet, intended to be printed as a trifold, is HERE.
