Legionnaire's Disease Outbreak Traced Back to Disneyland

  • 7 years ago
Disneyland has shut down two cooling towers after several cases of Legionnaires' disease was traced back to the park. Nine of the 12 people who contracted the bacteria-caused illness had visited Disneyland -- including one of the park's employees. Ten of the victims were hospitalized and one person -- who had not visited Disneyland -- had died. The two water cooling towers are located in a backstage area near the New Orleans Square Train Station, more than 100 feet from public areas.
