I wonder if it preserves cholera and typhoid well too?

Well its been about three months since I dug that pit and no one that was involved got sick; so we may be ok.

Will have to check to see if there is any documentation on Typhus or Cholera surviving in the ground for 110 years?

I think I worry as much about getting sick from a privy as I do about getting hit by lightning......

Thanks , if you find medicines that arent listed or pictured let me know.
I get a lot of update info from forum members.


I was just joking about the cholera but you can get sick from breathing dust in privies especially in dry areas.

I dug a blue San Fransisco bottle the other day and can not find it on the web. Will post a picture later.

Thanks for the offer of help,

Karl
