However, when a reportable disease hits your care home, all are forced to retching!
When some one with profound learning difficulties gets ill, it can be hard work to help them, imagine how much your arse hurts after a night of beer and curry, then times that burning ring sting by a hundred. That is what campylobacter can do to the average human sphincter. The fecal matter produced contains bacteria that can start digesting the flesh of the victim if it is not washed off and struggling with a person who is caked in flesh rotting diarrhea while trying to help them get clean is something I hope to never have to do again.
My main job though was as scientific officer, I had to collect samples of the poo so that we could identity and eradicate the bacteria causing the sickness and diarrhea from the congealing pools on the floor, bed, sofa and carpets in the house of the poor woman.
For those of you with a kind heart, she she did better. The lesson learned though was fairly simple, kindly Aunts do not always choose the best places to take disabled nieces out to lunch.
