🌿Your potting mix may have mulch more than expected! 🌿
While you're planting joy in your garden, don’t forget to protect yourself. Potting mix, compost, and soil can contain Legionella bacteria, which cause Legionnaires’ disease, a serious lung infection. 🧤 Garden safely:
✅ Wear gloves and a mask
✅ Open bags away from your face
✅ Dampen mix to reduce dust
✅ Wash hands after gardening
If you feel unwell with fever, cough, or shortness of breath after gardening, see your doctor. Let’s keep gardening safe and blooming this spring 🌼
