Title: Endotoxins from Cyanobacteria and Gram-negative Bacteria as the Cause of an Acute Influenza-like Reaction after Inhalation of Aerosols.

Summary: "The syndrome with fever, malaise, muscle pains, tightness of the chest and respiratory-tract symptoms, also known as toxic pneumonitis, occurred 1.5–6 hours after taking a bath or shower. The outbreaks were associated with mass developments of cyanobacteria in the drinking water reservoirs. "
