    I suspect in real life many people pee in isolation tanks; and sanitation after each customer is a regular cost of business

        Bleach alone would get it, even watered down bleach. I sometimes have to shit in a bucket at our little camp. Splash of bleach, smell’s gone instantly. Half the mass and all the stink is anaerobic bacteria.

            Ah! I’m imagining a much simpler area to clean. You got me looking at pics and the tanks are basically bathtubs.

    This fake story brought to us by someone who never changed a baby’s blowout. A squalling infant covered in shit is WAY worse than what allegedly happened here. Even a dog rolling around in shit is way grosser to clean.

    Put on some gloves, not really needed because you’re about to nuke ALL the bacteria, but it feels better. Pour some bleach on the mess, instant bacteria death and as soon as the air clears, zero smell. Wipe it up with disposable towels of some sort, place in plastic bag, place in trash. You don’t have the luxury of such prep when dealing with a live animal.

          Norovirus is resistant to alcohol. That’s part of what makes it so infectious. Not sure about bleach though.

          That said iirc it doesn’t survive on surfaces super long so just wait a month or sth

    I looked up the post and found this update they posted

    The “it wasn’t me” defense is the stupidest shit I’ve ever heard

    Update on my diarrhea. I posted here awhile ago about having diarrhea in a sensory deprivation tank and the facility wanting me to ultimately pay $12,500 (way more than initially quoted) to replace the tank since they didn’t feel safe deep cleaning it. I just wanted to give an update. I found an attorney willing to represent me and we are saying that since I was asleep there is no one to definitely know I am the one who diarrhea’d in the tank, and it is possible an employee dumped something in. Furthermore, I was there on a promo day where they were having a pancake and sushi luncheon and it’s possible if I were the one to have diarrhea’d it may have been from something I contracted from their food. Everything is pending, but I have hope now. The main downside is my legal fees are rapidly approaching the cost of the tank so I am hoping we can have them pay these.

      People don’t think this is real, do they? sushi and pancake luncheon? This is hilarious and I love it but it’s just humor and not something to take seriously or analyze that deeply

      If having hallucinations and diarrhea was on norovirus, then what’s that? Shitting themselves and delusions seems like their bread and butter.

      I will shit in the tank, and make them pay for it!

      Cleaning such a space is simply the cost of doing business. It’s absurd to claim they’d have to just chunk the whole tank when a gallon of bleach and some water would nuke it clean.

      You’re right they have insurance, but I wouldn’t make a claim and raise my rates over a nothingburger.

      Operative word should, never underestimate the unpreparedness of a small business owner… Especially one who operates in woo woo spaces.

    Lol absolutely no way you don’t know you got the norovirus. Death might seem like a viable option when it’s at it’s worst, it’s horrible. Even if mild there’s no way you don’t know you’re cramping so bad you shit yourself. A sensory deprivation tank doesn’t make you unaware of your own body, in fact it can cause hyperawareness because it’s all you’ve got.

    But whatever. Good internet story.

      Lawyer here: This is NOT legal advice as I’m not OP’s retained counsel and I don’t know all facts obviously, but on initial scan something isn’t right… The posted story really stinks and this seems like a pretty shitty case overall. I would not take the work - I mean MAYBE if they were paying a lot, but it wouldn’t be my number 1 priority, would be a number 2 at best.
