A member asked:
What symptoms do i have to look out for after being in a building with raw sewage? not touching but breathing it in? i'm scared...
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Raw Sewage: not much danger from breathing it in. Gastrointestinal symptoms would dominate such as vomiting, diarrhea, fever, chills. Being exposed to touch and getting in to your system would increase risk of hepatitis A.
