A member asked:
I inspect rooms and walked into one 2 weeks ago with poo, urine and dirty shower water on the floor can i catch anything from my shoes now?

Yes, which is why...: People often have "work" boots, and then other shoes for home use. Work shoes or work boots can be cleaned and disinfected, as needed. Spreading poop around is how poop-related outbreaks happen, such as norovirus, cholera, hepatitis A, etc... On the other hand, pee is usually free of infectious germs, and is not considered a danger.
