That's just silly.

I assume you also don't wear your seat belt, don't have a CO detector, don't lock your door when you go to bed at night, and don't look both ways when pulling out onto a road, right?

I mean, we all gotta go sometime so why take any precautions?

Ever been to a hospital? Did you notice that the staff wears gloves, even when they are "only" going to be touching bodily fluids? They don't just wing it without gloves and then thoroughly wash their hands afterward.

Hey, do what you want, but to say there is no benefit at all to barrier protection is just foolish.

exactly where did I say that there is no benefit at all to barrier protection? please cut and paste cause if I did that would be an incorrect statement. what I said was that unless you are as clumsy as a bear on roller skates while you are emptying your tanks, with a certain degree of care you won't splash "stuff" all over yourself. now with a stinky slinky you will splash "stuff" on the ground and your shoes while getting it ready to store away but AFAIK they don't make "ground size" latex gloves. How many documented cases of hepatitis have there been of RVers who got it due to dumping without gloves on?
do you wear gloves while wiping your butt?
I guess I should have put a smiley face :) in my previous comment so the extra dense folks would see it was only semi serious.
