Yes, human feces can carry bacteria and viruses such as E. coli, hepatitis A and norovirus. In a home or business it should be cleaned with gloves, disposable tools and a disinfectant, or by a cleanup team when the amount is large.
Workers who may touch blood or other body fluids are covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. Crews wear PPE, use EPA-registered disinfectants and handle waste under medical waste rules.
Blood and other body fluids that may carry germs are treated as biohazards. Some, such as blood, can carry bloodborne pathogens like hepatitis B and HIV. Cleanup crews handle all of them with the same protection, because the source of a fluid is not always known.
Many homeowners policies cover crime or death cleanup after the deductible, but an ordinary illness may not be covered. Renters policies often cover cleanup but not the building. Call the insurer before cleanup starts, take photos and keep every receipt.
At a home, the owner or the family usually pays. At a rental or a business, the landlord, property owner or employer often gets the cleanup done. In a rental, the lease and local law decide, and a landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say.
