Ive read about this before, its present in salt water aquariums more than freshwater but still the risk its there. I actually was speaking to my doctor when i first read of this and he looked it up. He wasnt that concerned and said its fairly easy to tell if you have it and can be treated easily.

Its not something to get worried about as chance of getting it is minimal and if you do get it, you will know about it!!

Trauma is an important predisposing condition. In one series, 82 percent of people who got it had some kind of skin tear. Don't clean your tank if you have a cut on your hands/arms.
