I recently heard about someone, not into wetlook so far as I know, who went into a canal to retrieve his bicycle when it fell in! My initial reaction was that it must have been freezing, as this happened last week. However, if it had been in the summer I would have loved to have done the same. The concern of the person I was with when I heard this, though, was that he could have caught any one of a number of illnesses, including Weil's disease, which is carried in rat urine. I looked up about this, and discovered that one of the reasons people the incidence of this disease is so low is because generally, people don't immerse themselves in urban pools of slow moving water.

Now, if there was ever a group pre-disposed to getting illnesses from dirty water, its you lot! So, I thought I'd ask, have any of you had any experience of this kind of thing? What do we think the real risk is, based on our collective experience of spontaneous or planned dunkings in non-chlorinated pools of water?
