:RollEyes: I stood and watched the guy next to us this morning with his toilet cassette.

1. Get rubbery gloves out from where they were tucked away.
2. Put them on
3. Take out cassette
4. Wander off and empty it
5. Return and put measured amount of Blue in toilet
6. Get 1.5L bottle of water and put half in toilet cassette
7. Put cassette back
8. Remove gloves roll them up and put them back tucked away
9. Wander over and chat with guy in opposite MH

Does make you wonder about some people and if they realise what they are doing.

Those gloves must be absolutely full of bugs. Both inside and outside.

As long as you don't shake hands with him you'll be okay.

I use disposible latex gloves, trying in vain to train the better half in the process of emptying the cassette but failing at each attempt.
 
What I can never understand is did they put gloves on to wipe their behind, it's only your own shit, been through you once.
What harms it going to do you when it's even been sterilised with blue stuff.
Just empty it and wash your hands like going to the toilet.
 
Wash with cloris after if in doubt.

I carry a gas blowtorch. It kills all germs on my hands and removes any tainted skin. I did try it on the parts of the cassette that I'm forced to handle when emptying but they turned black and went soft. So I don't do that anymore.
 
The only thing i'm careful with on my hands are solvents and acids, beyond that they seem to work well for any task i've tried them with so far, they're washable after use.

I use gloves, stops the blue/ green splash back staining my hands and I can lift the black waste cover knowing I’m not going to touch everybody else’s brown stuff. I always wash the gloves afterwards with anti bacteria wash.

What I don’t like to see is someone wiping/drying their cassette with a cloth which they then put back in a box with their hose and tap fittings, to be used next time.
 
As a rufty tufty, off-site, fulltime motorhomer, I never get my knickers in a twist over a bit of bacteria and a few bugs.

Obviously I wash my hands every now and again (I did so the day before yesterday) and I clean my loo and shower once or twice a month, although I am never quite sure why I do...

Humans have survived on this earth (and prospered) for thousands and thousands of years but soap was only invented a couple of hundred years ago.

But, I am not in the slightest bit interested (or critical) of what other folk do, even if they want to spend their time trying to kill all germs dead, using environmentally damaging chemicals.

I try my very best to let others live their lives by their rules not mine!

Seems to me that the more obsessed people get about killing germs,the more problems we have with allergies. In the modern classsroom you will find numerous children with allergies,intolerances,eczema,asthma and god knows what else. In my primary school of 90 kids in the 1950’s and 60’s there was just the one. And there was only one fatty. My childhood was spent in muddy fields and ratty riverbanks.......idyllic as far as I’m concerned and of course sadly not available to a lot of our kids today.
If people are really concerned about germs,do something about the disgusting habit of spitting in the street,which is responsible for the dreadful increase in tuberculosis in our inner cities........that nobody wants you to know about.

When I was 26 while walking The West Highland Way one of the lads filled his water bottle with water from a Highland stream, after all what could be fresher? It was a particularly hot day so he passed it around and we all had a drink.
Next day two of the lads had to be rushed to hospital with tummy problems and I went home. The day after that I got hit with the bug. I ended up off work for 3 weeks and spent a week sipping slightly salted water and eating nothing.
The doc told me that I may have damaged my intestine or bowel and there was a chance that it could be permanent. He wasn't wrong.
Could have been a dead sheep or something upstream, just unlucky.
Needless to say I'm very careful now regarding things like door handles in public toilets. Bugs me in supermarket toilets when you wash your hands you have to pull the door open to leave. Tend to use my little finger :whistle2:
 
As someone who had to do examinations on Sewage Farms. About the only thing you have to be afraid/aware of about sewage is Wiles disease. Rats are attracted to sewers and it is their Urine that transmits the disease That aside proper hand washing will deal with anything else

Same here, I hate having to use public loos as you often see people go in, use the loo and walk straight back out without washing their hands, often still scoffing the food they took in with them! Normal 'day to day' dirt doesn't phase me so I'm not obsessed with keeping my hands spotless but you simply do not know what bugs and nasties other people have so I'd rather not risk getting them therefore I too use the little finger method! (y) (yes I know that's a thumb!)

I have often drank from streams in Scotland and got away with it, but as you say you never know what might be upstream.

These days I carry a water filter with me, it's a bit slow but a very safe method of getting clean drinking water when hiking.

Surprised you don’t see people putting on a full set of coveralls face mask and goggles invade of a bit of splash back. Apparently you should put a toilet lid down before you flush due to the vapour mist that would be released. And let’s not analyse the splash back onto trousers or whatever when a bloke stands at a urinal.
