I recently had a job in down town San Jose where I saw what to now was the largest amount of human excrement I’d ever seen in an urban setting. You couldn’t walk 2 steps in a 1 block area there without seeing multiple piles, along with what passed for wiping material scattered around.
A few years back I was sampling a creek in the bay area for e-coli et.al. and needed to obtain upstream samples for the control (spill recordation/cleanup). The upstream samples still had gobs in it from all the indigents that bathe/defecate in the stream...
Yes indeed. Third world living conditions right here in this developed country of ours. I know it is hard to believe if one hasn’t seen it, but is true.
