Would a wee in the woods spread the virus?

[Pinkginhelps]

I can't hold my bladder for very long but really enjoy my daily walks. I often walk in woods with hardly any other people around. Would it spread the virus (if I had it and didn't know), if I was to do a quick wee whilst out walking in the woods?

Probably only if someone came and then rubber their face in it

No, it's not spread via urine.

Wee to your bladders content. It's not going to infect anyone.

It's respiratory, which means it spread via droplets coming from the lungs. So, no, wee won't spread it.

There has been talk of it spreading through feces though.

Sympathies. I've just taken delivery of a Shewee.

I waited patiently today for a man and his son to pass me on their bikes. They got a little in front then both jumped off for a tree wee. I had to stand back again and wait for them to finish, having cut my walk short and started to head home because was rather desperate for a wee by this point.

If you can't beat them, join them. I've ordered a she wee. I wonder if their sales are increasing as a result of all the toilets being closed.

Someone asked on another post what the tipping point is,

We appear to have found it. FFS

😂 😂 😂

What if you lean on a tree while you are doing it?

I suppose the need for privacy ensures that you are at least 2 m away from others?

I work in a microbiology lab. Yes it’s spread via urine. We aren’t testing any in the usual way and are culturing them in a safety cabinet. PHE guidance.

If it apparently originated from animals then does that nean its in all bodily fluids and not just respiratory

And this, foragers, is why you should wash your wild garlic

Oh jeese

Sympathies - this always happens to me on my walk. Unfortunately the route is now so busy I can't nip behind the trees. I have a she wee bought for camping- never got the hang of it.

I think it would all depend on whether you had brought a packet of crisps with you as well, and of course what flavour they were.

Smile “ Well if no one saw a wee in a forest did it really happen?”

😂

Yes it does spread it AFAIK

But humans existing spreads it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I cant see anything online about it being in urine. Anyone able to link scientific evidence.

If you go down into the woods today...watch out for the wee.

So if you lean on a tree and have a packet of walkers ready salted?

Asking for a friend.

I think you’re safe. But only as long as you don’t sit on a bench and eat crisps aswell?
