My wife bought herself a new car with air conditioning about 6 months

is switched on.

It's very common.

Any obvious cure, apart from taking it back to the dealer?

Yes. Halfords etc sell anti-bacterial sprays specifically for this purpose
- you switch the A/C to recirculate and spray it in the internal air
intake. Alternately, some say that Febreeze works just as well. The other
way - which I do - is to switch off the A/C but leave the system blowing a
few minutes before stopping the car as this should clear all the cold air.

Are we all going to die from Legionaire's Disease?

Heh heh - I've not heard of it being a health hazard - merely an
unpleasant smell.
