A report on 2 cases in Southampton, UK:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-16477713

The Thames is very sluggish ATM after the dry autumn/winter we've had.
Great for avoiding event cancellations, but please make sure you cover
open wounds, and wash cuts and blisters after outings.

Having rowed on the Itchen for many years I can tell you that this is
not the first case of this. Every year or so there are either cases or
suspected cases of Weils on the river although I'm not aware that a
rower has contracted this locally. We take the usual precautions of
covering cuts and showering well after a row, Thanks for posting the
link, I hadn't seen the report.
