Default Grey water on gardens

Are you the only one who washes their hands in your house or uses

the
shower? Are you the only one who eats the veg from your garden?

I don't think I'd like to have a salad at a house where they were
using untreated grey water on their veg.


Me and my wife only. I would think that anything she has, or vice

versa, we
would share through daily contact or more amorous adventures.


Maybe, but I suspect that some of the gut goobies can be person
specific.

For example, if your wife picks up Giardia someplace, I'm not sure if
she can give it to you by just day to day contact but it can live in
her gut for months unless treated. I know someone who had it for
months but her partner never got it. I know that it can survive for
months in the "wild".

I accept your
statement about sharing with other people. Still, if only me and the

better
1/2 I still don't see that it would be bad for us. Doesn't mean I

will use
grey water on the garden.


No. Worth exploring though but I'd want to know lots about it before
I'd try it on veg.
