A member asked:
I stepped very close to poop, it was raining and the poop was kind of melting into the rain, i did not step on the primary chunk. lots of encampments around the area. would spraying down shoes with lysol be sufficient or throw them away?

Simply cleaning them off with soap & water is likely adequate. The Lysol is an added factor that may or may not be needed. I would not toss my own shoes if they could be cleaned adequately to look normal.

There probably is no need for a disinfectant. A thorough washing with soap and water should be enough. Good luck.
