I worked for a garbage company in the 80's repairing garbage containers and sometimes on the trucks themselves. Although I had gotten infections, it never reached blood poisoning, which is surprising.I remember the job I was working on even all these years later. An old nasty dump truck. Working on the air brakes. I cut myself on something, and the doctors think the staph infection came from the dirt that was on the truck. Cut got infected, and I got blood poisoning.
