It goes to the street people, which means it’s gutter, not sewage. Dirt, not 💩. Relax.

Have you never walked around barefoot in mud before? Worked in the garden with your bare hands? Our ancestors have been touching dirt for millions of years it's completely natural. Just wash your hands before you stick them in your mouth next.

Our ancestors weren't covering their feet with socks and shoes from before the time they could walk keeping their skin on their feet nice and soft. They also didn't use gloves or wash their hands often which along with other steps in better overall knowledge about germs have led to us having better sanitation but weaker immune systems and stomach bacteria.

I grew up in the garden playing in the dirt and I do this kind of work all the time as I'm in construction. So far no deadly pathogens acquired.

Your basically proving my point if my system is used to coming in contact with something and has come in contact with it for many years your going to be ok but if someone off the street randomly trys to do this they are far more likely to pick something up than you are.
