I know a bloke who died as a result and others who contracted it amd got really crook.
Until recently 90% of people died from it. now its only 15%. still high but ...
but according to wiki
Melioidosis is endemic in parts of southeast Asia (including Thailand,[67] Laos,[68][69][70] Singapore,[71] Brunei,[72] Malaysia, Burma and Vietnam), China,[73] Taiwan[74][75] and northern Australia.[53][76] Flooding can increase its extent, including flooding in central Australia.[77] Multiple cases have also been described in Hong Kong and Brunei[78] India,[79][80][81][82] and sporadic cases in Central and South America,[83][84][85] the Middle East, the Pacific and several African countries.[86][87] Although only one case of melioidosis has ever been reported in Bangladesh,[88]
