Oh dear god.
I expect NASA has done simulations in case of explosive diarrhoea on the ISS. Perhaps we should email them.

Oh god,it's exactly the kind of thing they'd have to have a contingency for. Imagine trying to clean runny shit out of a 20 million dollar machine in zero grav.

I'm trying not to think but it's not helping.Apparently it's easy (and dangerous) to accidentally inhale liquid droplets in freefall.

It's happened:Frank Borman, on Apollo 8, managed to vomit twice and have the shits.
Which apparently "left the spacecraft full of small globules of vomit and faeces". That was about 12 hours into a 6.5 day flight. Thanks, Frank.
And on a shuttle / spacelab mission, the following exchange was heard:
"...Say, Bill, was that a monkey turd that just floated past?"
"I believe it was, Don"
