So, the place I live, it’s in a large overpopulated metropolitan. The parking area is basically the road and it always had a strong stench of urine and remnants of cowdung, but today due to faulty sewers fecal matter had overflown onto the road and of c, no one had cleaned it. It’s a deadend road so the only people stepping on it are people who live here, but I had to take care of my Motorbike there and had to clean it properly, so I could see stuff on my tires and while splashing the tires with water, I might have gotten a bit of stuff on my legs.
I felt deeply disgusted of my situation, but I felt scared of catching something as I am often exposed to stuff like this. The rented hotel I lived in has foot prints on the lift doors and it smelled of saliva and was painted red by marks of chweable tobacco product. The interesting thing is, I pay a premium to live in this place as every other place I went to smelled of sweat and piss (inside the rooms, this is outside, my room is neat and clean)
P.S: I sprayed isopropyl alcohol on everything I had touched just to sanitize it. But, isopropyl alcohol is apparently toxic and I am not supposed to use it frequently, what shall I do?
How can I keep myself safe and sane in this environment?
Wait, isopropyl alcohol is toxic even just for external use? I use it as a hand sanitizer daily.
Don’t take a literal bath in a tub of it. It takes a lot to be dangerous, far more than with methyl alcohol
No, I haven’t heard anything about that and I did some quick searching and couldn’t find anything relevant either. Basically don’t drink it or dump gallons of it in your local river.
It’s no longer recommended for wound disinfection because it kills healthy cells. Same with hydrogen peroxide.

If you wash it off, it’s ok.
