You're overreacting, bigtime. Do you allow children to play in the
grass where maybe a dog has shit when you weren't looking? (BTW, the
risk with dog waste is parasites much more than it is bacteria.)

LOL!! Speaking as a kennel owner who, like most kennel owners in the
normal course of life with multiple dogs, has had just about every
body part smeared with dog shit at one time or another (not to mention
having occasionally had it spattered in my eyes and mouth) -- about
all you really have to worry about is getting it into wounds that
cannot be thoroughly washed (such as puncture wounds), because of the
same types of bacteria that are present in ANY creature's shit, which
when out of their own environment will overgrow due to the lack of
checks and balances (other stuff that eats 'em in the gut).

And the same parasites that can infect dogs and people are naturally
present in the soil most places, so better stop walking around
outdoors, too
