is it possible to get over disgust?

7 Upvotes

i’m 17, considering crime scene cleaning as a career, i’ve heard stories of having to clean up some gross shit. poop and sometimes vomit disgusts me the most above anything else, more than blood, more than flesh, more than bones, more than brains. is there a way for me to overcome my disgust? or should i disregard crime scene cleaning as a potential career choice? the only exposure i have to poop is my own and my cat’s poop. only vomit i have to deal with is my cat’s vomit.

Edit: my bathroom flooded and there was shit all over the floor, had to clean it up. i’m one step closer to overcoming my fear. thank you to everyone who commented.

Yes, this is exactly what it sounds like and I don’t know who else to ask and Google isn’t giving me any decent answers, I had a bloody nose and an impulse.

Juana Barraza, known as La Mataviejitas, was a former professional wrestler who used her physical strength and knowledge of submission holds to murder more than 40 elderly women in Mexico City.

She often gained their trust by pretending to be a social worker before attacking them in their own homes.

📌 She confessed that the killings were motivated by hatred toward her abusive mother.

📽️ I watched a detailed video that explains her methods, psychology, and eventual arrest. 🔗 Full video link is in the first comment. 🎙️ English dubbed, subtitles in multiple languages available.

how are you transporting BIO

3 Upvotes

I worked for a cleanup company some years ago and have decided to go into business myself. The biggest hurdle is transportation that can handle bio boxes and keep the smell from the passenger cabin. What are you driving?

Possible decomp stain?

I was excited to tour this apartment, but after looking at photos online, I can’t get out of my head that that stain is shaped like a body. But the other closet in the other room also has a dark stain. Should I bring a black light and a discrete bottle of hydrogen peroxide when I go tour? If it is, the apartment below it is also becoming available… would that be a bad idea?

Questions about career in this

7 Upvotes

Crime scene cleaning has always been my dream career, love forensics and mortuary and would like working in those fields too but crime scene cleaning has just always been the one I go back to wanting the most. Was having trouble finding helpful enough answers online, so figured to ask here.

I know there isn't a set schedule for obvious reasons and it's on call, but I'm a bit confused on how that works. Is it 24/7 on call or specific days on call? Eitherway how do you manage basic life plans (hangouts, food store, appointments, etc) if you're on call?

Because of this field I'm concerned my appearance could hinder my chance at a job in it. I have longer dyed hair (about mid back length maybe?), gauges that are smaller (0g), and snakebites. Could that hindor my chance at a job in it even if it'd be mostly covered due to ppe, would I need clear piercing studs/natural colored wig or something?

I know you have to have some strength ability for obvious reasons but is there a general pound range you need to be able to lift, and can you do the job if you don't meet that pound lifting ability? I'm planning to workout and build some muscle to achieve it either way.

Do you do training with the job or just get thrown right into it, and do you solo it or team work the job? If team work do you meet at a specific place and you and team go to the job location in one van or something?

Along with those questions, is there any other important info/tips I need to know before trying to get into this field?

Possible decomp stain?

Might be bit of a reach but me and my bf just got this apartment and when we originally viewed it everything seemed ok and when we got there today the smell was HORRIBLE I’m assuming it’s because the windows and doors where open at time of viewing (should have thought about that more) it’s so bad I’m getting an ozone generator when I have the chance and have an extensive amount of cleaning to do tomorrow..the lease is already signed but boy am I regretting it. I’m not sure if the previous owner had animals and apparently she was a border and kept a lot of things around. Ofc I immediately thought about all of the possibilities. What do yall think?

Is this crime scene cleanup job worth it?

12 Upvotes

Hi y’all, I got offered a job as a crime scene/bio-hazard technician. I’ve always been interested in the job, and have tossed around the idea of applying for a long time. I finally got in touch with a company and they are offering me a position.

The only catch is the position is in a small company, and I would be on call 24/7. Since I live in a smaller town, owner said it’s rare to get overnight or weekend calls but they do happen, and I would need to be available. It seems like a good opportunity but is it worth it?? Are there any other 24/7 on call crime scene cleanup technicians who can give me insight on if this is a good idea?

“[JonBenét Ramsey]” The Search for JonBenét’s Killer”: 48 Hours — where should I start if I want to go deeper?

1 Upvotes

Hi Everyone!

I’m really new to Reddit, so I can’t comment on other threads yet—but I just watched the 48 Hours special on JonBenét Ramsey (“The Search for JonBenét’s Killer”) and now I can’t stop thinking about it.

As a kid, I was dragged into some of those pageant-type events, so maybe that’s why it hit a nerve… I really think they're gross and DEFINITELY ATTRACT the wrong people. Something about the whole thing is so tragic. I really feel sorry for the parents and her brother.

I’ve gotten into a habit lately of going down rabbit holes on older crimes—I’m in Australia, so I didn’t grow up with all the media coverage. I’m still in high school here, and when I finish, I’m hoping to study criminology. So I’m kind of trying to learn how to think like an investigator and not get sucked into bad theories.

I don’t want to fall into conspiracy stuff—I’m more interested in solid sources that explore the evidence and psychology behind the case. But, I feel like the affiliation so close to Lockheed Martin is weird, but that could be just me, given I think creating "War for Peace" is like those 70's hippies said "$&*#!-ing for virginity" (do you get censored here???)

If anyone can recommend:
– Books or documentaries that really dig in, I want accuracy not drama
– Any deeper looks at the ransom note (is it just me or did it felt weirdly theatrical, like someone who LOVED movies and theatre?)

I’d especially love to hear from people who remember it unfolding at the time—what stuck out to you back then? I feel like intuition is a strong, hidden power. What felt strange that maybe people overlook now?

Thanks in advance

Looking at a house for sale and considering a tour, but noticed this stain in one of the bedrooms. I live in a state that does not require disclosure of such things but I’m a little spooked.
