Spot the mistake

How can someone putting on a pair of gloves to empty his shit pot out be reason for so much chat ? There are some proper saddos out there hope I never get stuck next to them on a site?
 
seward I rely on people like you to give me a breathing space round my van. :D


JOKING just JOKING
 
I have a compromised immune system and have been hospitalised with many different infections so I’m pretty anal (pardon the pun) about what I touch. I use disposable gloves (only once), wash my hands then use a hand sanitiser when emptying the toilet cassette. I always carry a pack of tissues and hand sanitiser in my pockets and use a tissue to open loo doors after I’ve washed my hands when we’re out. I know I can’t live in a bubble but better safe than, well,.....dead.
 
I use gloves don't like chemicals on my skin.
 
I'd rather wash my hands in piss than tap water.

URINE is sterile because it contains no living organisms, unless the person that produces is unlucky enough to have a urinary tract or bladder infection. There are less bacteria in urine than in tap water, for example.

You actually empty your cassette AND wash it out? How quaint, I just chuck the whole thing under a bush and put a new one in donchaknow ............ honest :whistle2:
 
As somebody rapidly awaiting retirement I cant wait to be able to spend my hard earned retirement sitting outside my Motorhome with my tick box in hand observing the movements of my fellow Motorhomers.
I must remember to book a pitch close to the Elsan Point then I wont miss recording who is wearing gloves, who spills a bit on the way and yes, heaven forbid, shakes hands with an unsuspecting victim!
Surely the safest way going forward is to proceed naked to the Point - dispose - go to the shower block - disinfect yourself - levitate so that your feet don't touch the floor and risk contamination, all the way back to the sanctuary of your Motorhome - where you can finally relax!
I will continue to wear my gloves until a law is voted through banning the use - but then if that happened what would I have to do whilst away on my trips - oh yes, just enjoy myself and live and let live!!

Is poo sterile? Certainly doesn't smell it ?

It really isn't:

 
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:
i to had sumthing simler with water out of a stream on a survival coerce i always now use water sterilization tabs or 1/4 Milton tab per ltr.
if i cant boil the water to a roiling boil we always carry a tranga with us or can light a fire but even getting the water over 70c will kill most bugs

As PeteH have spent many years surveying sewage pumping / treatment systems. Once I spent 6 weeks in Baghdad (before the Iraq war) paddling around in 6" of sludge in pump house basements, fighting off the oversize cockroaches. So emptying the cassette without gloves is almost a pleasure & brings back happy memories.
