I was almost sick to my stomach, thinking about the type of things that this guy has plastered all over his body! Not to mention how dangerous and physically taxing this type of work is.
He doesn’t have to go far for a bathroom break.
Uh the first thing I thought was exactly how many diseases do you think this guy has contracted???? I don’t even want to think about it. There are plenty of disgusting jobs out there in the world, or Mike Rowe would be out of a job. But this is just a complete health hazzard. Yeah, those people are dying…. from disgusting disease you can get from human urine and feces. That’s just gross. It is sad how some countries are still living centuries behind ohters. WTF?
no idea but i’m sure the health implications are greater than just clearing the sewer lines
