It thrives in stagnant water systems like building plumbing and heaters. Thankfully, cases are low and no single source has been found yet. Symptoms include fever, cough, and shortness of breath — treatable with antibiotics for most. Health teams are investigating and urging prevention: keep misters clean, heat water to 140°F, and flush systems regularly. Stay alert, especially in large buildings.
