Seem to real upset about him using his bare hands. Why?
I also use my bare hands, I don't wear gloves. I have found over the years that there is nothing on the OUTSIDE of the hose, and as I don't stick my hands inside the hose, There is no problems.
I have also found over the years. There is no need to rinse out the sewer hose with a garden hose. IF after I run 30 gal of fresh water thru it from the grey tank, It is not clean enough. squirting a little water from a garden hose will not get it any cleaner.
So I pack everything away, Wash my hands, and go.

When we got our first RV, I used to use gloves when I dumped the tanks but not anymore. I have never gotten any liquid or anything else on my hands while dumping the tanks. I keep a tube of the sanitary wet wipes in the back of my truck and wash my hands with them when finished. I also never wash my sewer hose. Dumping both my grey tanks gets anything solid out of the sewer hose.
Same thing for me.
I'm a retired firefighter/EMT, so I'm well versed in infectious diseases. But there's no reason for Hazmat procedures, when dumping a black tank.
Just use proper hand washing, just like you would after using the toilet.
