Legionnaires' survivor wants to warn others of danger
Levon Anderson, 41, is recovering in Christchurch Hospital after contracting Legionnaires' disease and being in an induced coma for 12 days.

Doctors believed it was most likely he had contracted the disease from inhalation of the Legionella bacteria in the compost and gardening mix he was transporting for his job.
