Just how well can/did the the urine jug and bedpan be sanitized?

If both were plastics, be it known a lot of plastic is porous if not food grade.

*Food grade plastic barrels and totes are very porous.

Of course...didn’t much care, to be honest. They weren’t sterilized and reused, they were plastic and off a shelf.

When I was a kid, we found a large bottle of pure mercury, and we played with it for months before it was discovered and taken away from us, pouring it into our hands, onto the floor, breaking it up into little pools and watching them all coalesce back into one big pool, etc.

I ran behind the trucks spraying for mosquitoes, reveling in being completely encased in the vapor!

When I was a military dependent, I broke into an abandoned building, broke off ten foot sections of asbestos steam pipe wrapping and threw it against the wall, where it exploded into a cloud of white dust that covered me head to foot, and the only thing with color other than the asbestos powder were my eyes and my mouth.

As a teenager back in the early Seventies, I had a job at a startup, and was cleaning epoxy resin from the large aluminum pots (that they use for cooking in industrial settings such as schools and military installations that hold 30 gallons) with pure Benzene. I lost consciousness, and when my boss found me and took my head out to bring me back, my forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin had no feeling at all, and my brain was buzzing.

When I was in the Navy, I would get covered with JP-4 Jet Fuel (like kerosene) to the point it turned parts of my skin beet red where my coveralls rubbed against the skin.

I drank excessively for years before I lost the energy to do it anymore!

I guess I look at that single swig of Mountain Dew from that plastic urinal, and I just don’t think that will be the thing that will kill me in the end!

But I know what you mean...:)

The post is BS. Pure fantasy.
