[|Human|] can exposure to raw sewage in a home with faulty plumbing cause staff infections and other skin issues? I have also had to have surgery on my eye to scrape the tear duct due to repeat infections. I do have chron s disease and my immunity is compromised.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your query at Chat Doctor! Yes it is possible that repeated exposure to raw sewage can cause Staphylococcus infection. Staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive pathogen that causes a variety of diseases. Staphylococcus also are widespread in untreated water, raw milk and sewage. Yes it can cause variety of skin problems (folliculitis, cellulitis, etc.)Practice hygiene, wear gloves to dispose sewage. Wash hands before handling leftovers and use clean utensils and surfaces. Practice "Handwashing" with soap water. Take care!
