Nothing to worry about really except perhaps

Cholera
Clostridium difficile
Dysentery
Typhoid fever
Vibrio parahaemolyticus.
E-coli
Campylobacter.
Salmonella

A few nights/weeks in hospital should cure these. Indeed, most will have a very positive effect of helping with weight loss.

On second thoughts, maybe gloves are a good idea. If I really wanted a bout of any of these, I'd sign up for a weeks cruise.:LOL:

I take it you never use public toilets? Never touch anything that someone else has touched? Always wear gloves?
Never touch money?:)

Irrational I know, but I border on OCD for hand washing.

Tbf, it depends who's arse needs wiping. I think some of the supermodels wouldn't be short of volunteers
Perhaps not the right comment for a family forum

I'm in the bare hands camp & wash them after. I cringe when I see mainly the French with their gardening gloves then poke them back in with the casstte and next time they empty use the same gloves festering in all sorts of bacteria.

Yes absolutely amazing, never had such a popular thread with anything sensible, but it is about toilets, the most discussed part of a Motorhome. And..........YIPEE....... I made it onto Jims weekly round up with it.

I'll ask the Wife what she wears on her hands when she goes to empty it - and get back to you later ........
MrA would have to say the same thing.:whistle:

Same here, when I framed pictures for a living I was obsessed with keeping my hands clean as there is ALWAYS natural oil on your skin, I made my hands sore.

Well I'd guess like most things it's each to their own. I cannot understand why anyone would want to empty the cassette without gloves, however I'm not critical of those that do. Each to their own.

I don't need gloves - I don't put my hands inside it. I suspect the outside is no more germ-laden than the average (clean) public lavatory. I don't wear gloves there either. In both cases I wash my hands.

Well. Two sons and 6 Grandkids?.

The smell from the tank was horrendous
Put me off dinner everytime

The local Sewer and Drain expert, drinks in my "local". He has been seen eating his "snap" in his cab after dealing with a particularly "messy" situation more than once!. Reckons he`s NEVER had any bowel issues as a result. Mind he drinks more that enough Cider to mask it?.

Where there’s muck there’s money.
John.

Or as they say In`t Gods Country. "weer tha`s muck, thears Brass".(y)

Brings a memory back to me many years ago my grandparents lived in a back to back terraced house down RIpon st in Hull .There was only one way in or out which was the front way.The dry toilet(no water or drain) a large tin tank which had to be carried through the house to empty into a cart every two weeks.One particular week when carrying the tank through the house on the bin mans shoulder the rotten bottom fell out and all the efluant dropped out onto the living room floor and furniture .The council came to there aid 2 Days later sending 2 men to clean up .After the clean up they were awarded £8 .16s compensation .for a new coconut mat and a rug.My father went to watch the clean up as our grandparent were stopping at our house .When he came home he told us he was disgusted because the cleaners did not wear gloves ,No mention of the furniture and carpets .Them were the days lol.

Similar to the "back to backs" on Hessle Road. They guys where known as "night soil" Men. My Gran used to put newspaper down from the front door to the backyard, for them to walk on and if she got a tiny drop on the floor?, By God did they get the edge of her tongue!. BTW, did you know all the waste went on the land around HULL and the farmers ploughed it in with the animal waste as Fertiliser. You could tell where, when the tomato plants came up in the fields!.

Also? Question, How do people with Hemmeroids deal with their affliction?.

Does make you smile doesn’t it, especially the poor logic. “Knitted gloves!” Please!! Guaranteed to harbour any nasties. If squeamishness or a hygiene fetish are really central, then use disposable surgical grade gloves and antibacterial, preferably alcohol-free, wipes for the cassette. For me, I don’t bother with the gloves and just get on with it followed by a blob of antiseptic gel and a good hand washing. Can’t argue with wiping the cassette down and the wipes work well on people too but all to be done BEFORE touching anything else. Tricky! Lol.

Went back in when i told him there was more to come and he was getting his......OWN back:whistle::whistle::whistle:

My grandfathers cottage had a twin seat thunder box that was dug out by the corporation once a month, we used to sing this to the tune of no place like home,
The corporation muck cart was full up to the brim ,
The driver fell in backwards and said he could not swim,
He sank to the bottom just like a little stone ,
And then began to whistle theirs no place like home.
