First time water is over the spill way since 2011.

Important reminder.

North West Hospital and Health Service is urging residents to take extra precautions to reduce the risk of serious infections, including melioidosis.

Public health officials warn that flooding can bring bacteria from deep within the soil to the surface, increasing the risk of infection through cuts, sores, muddy water and even airborne particles.

🧠 Who is most at risk?
People with diabetes, chronic kidney, lung or liver disease, cancer or weakened immune systems, older people, and those who drink alcohol heavily.

Public Health physician Steven Donohue said prevention is critical during wet conditions.

“Vulnerable people should stay indoors during heavy rain or flooding, and under no circumstances should they enter flooded or muddy waters.”

🧤 Simple steps can significantly reduce risk:
• Avoid contact with muddy or floodwater
• Wear waterproof boots, gloves and protective clothing
• Cover cuts and sores with waterproof dressings
• Wash skin thoroughly after contact with mud or floodwater
• Take extra care with foot and wound care, especially if you have diabetes

🤒 Watch for symptoms
Symptoms can appear days, weeks or even months later and may include fever, chills, cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, headaches, muscle aches, extreme tiredness, or sores that don’t heal.

“Get to your doctor quickly if you are unwell and getting worse,” Dr Donohue said. “Early treatment can be life-saving.”

🏥Anyone who feels unwell after contact with soil or muddy water is urged to seek medical advice and advise their health provider about possible exposure.
