Stagnant windscreen wiper water may be responsible for causing 20% of cases of Legionnaires Disease, according to the Health Protection Agency.
Stagnant, warm water is a breeding ground for the Legionella bacteria, which when inhaled cause pneumonia and is fatal in 10-15% of cases.
To kill the bacteria simply add screenwash to your windscreen washer resevoir.
