So, the place I live, it’s in a large overpopulated metropolitan. The parking area is basically the road and it always had a strong stench of urine and remnants of cowdung, but today due to faulty sewers fecal matter had overflown onto the road and of c, no one had cleaned it. It’s a deadend road so the only people stepping on it are people who live here, but I had to take care of my Motorbike there and had to clean it properly, so I could see stuff on my tires and while splashing the tires with water, I might have gotten a bit of stuff on my legs.
I felt deeply disgusted of my situation, but I felt scared of catching something as I am often exposed to stuff like this. The rented hotel I lived in has foot prints on the lift doors and it smelled of saliva and was painted red by marks of chweable tobacco product. The interesting thing is, I pay a premium to live in this place as every other place I went to smelled of sweat and piss (inside the rooms, this is outside, my room is neat and clean)
P.S: I sprayed isopropyl alcohol on everything I had touched just to sanitize it. But, isopropyl alcohol is apparently toxic and I am not supposed to use it frequently, what shall I do?
How can I keep myself safe and sane in this environment?
did you read the post? OP is describing shit flowing down the street. You seem to be under the FALSE impression this is mainly dangerous if it gets in a wound. Not at all considering what if it gets into the digestive system to name but one other point of entry. Try reading the first few paragraphs of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WASH and skimming around. I don’t see a lot of “germ phobia” being discussed here.
this is critically dangerous which will certainly result in extreme illness in the neighborhood. People die from these kinds of situations. They tend not to be accompanied by robust health systems or other supports. There has obviously been neglect / catastrophe on the public health front.
Your advice is patronizing, inane, ignorant… and dangerous.
