A foreign visitor has died and at least two other people have become sick after staying at a downtown Miami luxury hotel, and health officials are blaming an unusual type of pneumonia called Legionnaire's Disease.http://www.miamiherald.com/news/southflorida/story/1379545.html
Guests at the Epic Hotel have been relocated upon request to nearby hotels to prevent further contact with the Legionella bacteria in the water, according to the Miami-Dade County Health Department.
An investigation this week by county and state officials revealed that the hotel had installed a water filter powerful enough to remove chlorine from its city-supplied water, a move that encouraged bacterial growth.
When will people stop listening to no-nothing shock talkers in the media and realize that the "dangerous chemicals in our water", such as chlorine and flouride, protect us from things much more harmful?
