Do You Contract Legionnaires Disease?

Answer 1

I went on an Alaskan cruise and now I am very sick. Chills, fever, cough, headache, body aches. I was around a lot of water and mists. Could this be legionnaires?

Many infections lead to fever, chills, cough, body aches. Can't say it's legionnaires. Have you seen the Dr. on the cruise? If regular antibiotics work then no worry.

It is more likely to be a common cold. Legionnaires is generally contracted through air conditioning. Drink more water and have a good bed rest. Wait for a few days. If it does not get better, see a doctor
