\nLeptospirosis is a disease caused by Leptospira bacterial species. These bacteria are carried in the urine of infected animals such as rodents, pigs, cattle, dogs, and many wildlife species. If urine from an infected animal is deposited or drains into a body of fresh water (lake, river, stream, etc.) or soil, the bacteria can survive there for weeks to months.
\nLeptospirosis exists worldwide, but it is more likely to be found in tropical climates. The risk of infection is higher after a heavy rain or flooding.
\nPeople may come into close contact with fresh water or wet soil when they participate in outdoor activities. If the water or soil was contaminated with bacteria that cause leptospirosis, that person could be at risk for developing the disease. The bacteria can enter the body through the eyes, nose, mouth or skin cuts and abrasions. Prolonged immersion in or swallowing of contaminated water can increase the risk of infection. Direct contact with the urine, other bodily fluids, or tissues of infected animals can also lead to infection, as well as ingestion of food or water contaminated by Leptospira.
\nParticipating in sporting and racing events that include kayaking, canoeing, swimming, off-path trekking and other similar types of outdoor activities can increase the risk of leptospirosis infection. These activities \u2013 sometimes called \u201cadventure racing\u201d \u2013 often involve entering bodies of fresh water and/or contact with soil for long periods of time.
\nYou may be at risk for leptospirosis when you participate in outdoor activities where freshwater or wet soil are encountered. Learn how to protect yourself and stay safe outdoors.
\nKayaking, canoeing, swimming, off-path trekking and other similar types of outdoor activities can increase your risk of leptospirosis infection. Know the symptoms and see a doctor if you think you may have leptospirosis.
\nSymptoms may appear anywhere from two days to four weeks after exposure to the bacteria. Most infections result in mild, flu-like symptoms or no symptoms at all. When symptoms occur they can include:
\nHowever, 5 to 10 percent of cases can develop more severe, potentially life-threatening disease, affecting multiple organs, including the kidneys, liver, brain, lungs and heart.
\nIf your outdoor activities will involve fresh water or wet soil, you can take steps to lower your chances of getting leptospirosis.
\nIf you have recently been in fresh water, wet soil or mud and develop symptoms of the disease, be sure to see a doctor as soon as possible. The doctor can provide testing for leptospirosis and treatment if needed. Early treatment can help reduce the severity and duration of symptoms caused by leptospirosis.
\nHead out and enjoy the great outdoors this summer, and take it all in\u2014just not leptospirosis.
