Depends on what kind of ‘public land’ it is. Can’t speak for that specific location.

In most national parks, for example, you are allowed to scatter cremains. Normally have to apply for a permit and there’s certain requirements that must be met, but it’s allowed.

I plan on being cremated and have my friends scatter my ashes at Hawaii Volcano National Park, depending on accessibility at the time.

That was funny...

Some cemeteries have "scattering gardens" for ashes...However, a person would actually bury ashes in the garden...Not actually scatter them...

“I think older people might be more susceptible to it because they don’t feel pain as much in their internal organs like younger people do.”

I’m no doctor, but I do know a little about medical conditions (due to dealing with my own). I think generally the older you are the more you become susceptible to any medical problem. This is true for many reasons. One of those reasons is your immune system is not as strong as a younger person. Another is that the older tend to be “couch potatoes” and lack of activity sure does not keep one in tip-top condition and ready to deal with medical issues as easily. The bottom line is that Sepsis can kill you. I know of people who have died from Sepsis who were otherwise healthy. The same is true for Pneumonia. It can easily take you out.

One last thought: If you have pain, go straight to an MD and don’t mess around. Back pain tells you it has already spread to your kidneys. If you have the usual weird urinary symptoms and no pain, it’s PROBABLY OK to treat it yourself, but it may not be.

Usually what happens is the bacteria ascends the ureter (usually gram negative bacteria) and UTI becomes pyelonephritis from which it is a short journey to septic shock. Because they tend to be gram negative bacteria, they tend to be quite severe in terms of onset of shock and difficult to treat.

People spread ashes in Hawaii all the time, whether legal or not. I did it with my father, it is a cultural thing.

Cranberry juice never has done anything to help me — or my mom. She takes the cranberry pills now, and has better success. I take D-Mannose which (knock wood) is doing a good job.

I don’t think it’s legal but it’s one of those laws that never gets enforced, unless a democrap city council wants money.

It’s terrible. So easily treated — IF it’s diagnosed correctly.

Right. It is something that affects women. We could get Pelosi to change the name. But what if the woman identifies as a man? D-nose?

My Grandfather a WW1 vet was cremated by his request and his ashes scattered in the Superstition mountains near Phoenix.

Good luck looking for evidence to prosecute, all of this was back in the early 1960’s

And I was born in Inglewood Ca back when it was fairly normal, now it sorrows me what they have done to the state of my birth

Urosepsis is common. We see it all the time-especially in people with suprapubic catheters and long term indwelling Foley catheters. Numerous times, I have obtained urine specimens from these people and the urine was white and chunky. It was literally, a bladder full of pus. It works its way up into the kidneys and enters the blood stream from there. It’s pretty common actually.
