There have been a couple of cases of Legionnaire's Disease associated
with breathing potting soil in Australia in the last few years, and two
cases of Legionalla infecting people who have been in buildings with the
bacteria in the cooling tower.

All potting mixes carry health warnings here. It's one of those things
we accept.
