I guess I can find a food grade hose, but if you attach a food grade hose to a spigot that has just scraped the inside of someone's germy container, I wonder if the hose helps.
I confess to being completely neurotic and maybe even irrational on this. Without question, the biggest shock of my move has been how germy and pathogenic this place is: Puddles of Lepto, worms that eat your brain lurking in all local leafy produce, frogs that can kill your dog, and rat-pee water. I did my research and was aware of most this. But experiencing it in the aggregate and in reality (grabbing the frog, stuffing him in a bag, freezing him) is another thing.
There. That feels better. Still glad I'm here. I am a complete germophobe and living in Puna has helped me to face this aspect of my personality. I regard it as a horrible defect and I humble myself prostrate before you, without actually putting my ungloved hand on the ground. I'll just put this poncho on and then prostrate myself.
Ewwwwww.
