    I'm not totally grossed out by my own kids messes but anyone else's make me freak out..

    I don't know that I've had a really bad one, other than the crap filled diapers that didn't contain. One clean up that made me gag was the house I am rent. I know the owners and their son was living there. He went to jail for a bit so they cleared out this things but told me they would wave the deposit if I wanted to clean up the house myself. I swept up enough dog hair off the hardwood to fill an entire garbage bag. THAT was enough to make me gag.

    I used to be an embalmer, so the question is more like "What haven't I cleaned up?".

    If you are a parent, you have a tale to tell. I have many. I remember when my son was 7, he broke his arm. Hours later, after morphine and casting, etc, we were on our way home. He became quite nauseous in my brand new car. Seriously, I'd had it less than a week. So, with no baggie or anything to grab, I cupped my hands to make a bowl & told him "puke here".

    And he did. :sick:

    You're lucky to have a child. I wouldn't complain personally.
    No complaints. I love my son. Just wanted some perspective.:flowerforyou:

    I didn't take it as complaining. I took it as a conversation starter. Maybe your personal situation caused you to read this topic differently, and if so, I'm sorry for that. It took me 9 years b4 I was blessed with my son, my one and only. Yet, I don't think I'm "complaining" to share & make light of life's unfortunate "circumstances" (aka diarrhea, vomit and etc). Life's short, grab a smile when you can.

    My youngest, who just turned one last week, had C-Diff...most horrible smelling stuff you will ever encounter...every diaper was a blow out for at least 3 months and when I say blow out...crib was changed about 4 times a day...washing machine was constantly filled with his clothes and sheets, etc...head to toe water poop...just nasty.

    Happy Birthday :flowerforyou:

    So it's my birthday (I know happy birthday)

    I woke to the sound of my one year old laughing and giggling in his crib. (Nice right?) upon closer inspection I realized he was covered head to toe in what looked like chocolate pudding and his diaper smushed in the corner of the crib!

    What is the most nasty thing you have had to clean up?


    Oh my! that same thing happened to me when my son was around a year old. My son however was drawing pictures on the wall with his poo, and just laughing up a storm :ohwell:

    Foals with diarrhrea when the dam was in season. Piles of rotting vegetation. Puppy accidents. I WILL NOT clean a cat box; if hubby wants to have a cat HE cleans up after the nasty stinking thing. I've never changed a diaper in my life, just one of the reasons I decided way back in high school that I was not going to have kids. I feel sorry for all you moms who report your kids smearing feces around...can't imagine. Eewwwww.....beyond disgusting.

    I had the brightest idea to take up the morgue detail at the county coroner's office during a class in nursing school. Not sure what I was thinking. Luckily, I'm not phased by anything now lol

    We are resilient like that. Enough exposure and we adjust.

    Funny, the most disgusting thing I have ever cleaned up was not my son painting on the wall with his poo.

    I took my wheelchair bound mother in law with dementia to the Cardiologist, when her C-dif (if you don't know what that is please look it up) that we thought had cleared up made an unexpected appearance. I had her in the dr office bathroom, trying to hold her up with one hand, her crying and yelling in my ear that I was hurting her, and attempting to clean up the most foul, disgusting diarrhea with paper towels. It was all over her, her wheelchair, her shoes, her clothes and me. The lovely staff at the dr office refused to help me because, (their excuse) C-diff is extremely contagious. Which it is. By myself, no help. That was the worst thing I ever cleaned up and it was ..... beyond disgusting. I'd take baby poo over that any day!

    Im a nurse lol there is nothing disgusting that I haven't cleaned up....... However weeping pressure ulcers with necrotic tissue usually are the worst and smell horrendous especially if there infected which happens frenquently.......

    Also once had a patient with a giant abcess that was located under her colostomy bag burst causing puss and fecal matter to start "shooting" across her bed.. It kind looked like a scene out of a horror movie.... My job is never boring

    I agree there is something about baby poo that makes it less eewwwwww than adult poo. I actually had to hold my breath as I read this so I didn't smell it.

    COPIOUS amounts of clear, gelatinous dog vomit with chunks of ????. It had to cover a two square foot area and when you touched one side, the other side jiggled and slid away from me on the hardwood floor. Saint Bernard's should not be allowed to puke.

    I'm not squeamish but in this one case, I wanted to add my vomit to the mix.

    First off, Happy Birthday.

    Second, I have too many to pick a worst.

    My first was when I was 17, I worked for the Doral Plaza in Downtonwn Chicago. Some guy decided to jump off the prudential building next door, and hit a ledge on the way down. About a month later, someone complained about something smelling bad on that side of the building. I found a part of a hand with a couple of decayed fingers in a flower pot beneath the vegetation.

    Later in my navy life, I had rented a car, and took a few buddies out to Rosie O'Grady's at Church Street Station in Orlando in August. We got toasted on Long Islands as they were on special that night. One of my buddies passed out, and we were told we had to get him out of there. We brought him down to the car, and strapped him in the passenger seat. I took off for the base, and drove down Colonial St. Colonial had a bunch of dips as you hit every intersection. At one point, this guy opened his eyes, and looked around. I asked if he was ok. Then it erupted from his mouth. All over him, the upholstery, the dashboard, the vents, everything. I pulled over, but by the time I stopped, he was done. So, I drove him back to the base. I parked, and half carried him back to his room. I stripped his shirt, and lay him on his bed, and went to my room to sleep. I woke up at 2pm. Did I mention it was August in Orlando? I had to return the rental. I went to the parking lot, and opened the car. IT had festered and baked, and I puked in the parking lot from the smell of it. I decided they could keep the deposit. I couldn't clean it.

    Finally, as an ICU nurse for several years, I have had many interesting cleanups. from bedside surgery, traumas, poop, still borns, you name it. I've probably cleaned it.

    I would have left the deposit to. Well maybe make your buddy clean it and take pics.: cointoss:

    When I was an EMT, we had to transport a guy with GI problems to the hospital. He was vomiting a black, coffee-ground like substance. It was the most horrible thing I had ever smelled and the hospital was a good 30 miles away. Not fun.

    My dad has a bad gag-reflux around CPR.......the first time he ever performed CPR, the guy vomited in his mouth (this was back in the 70's, before masks and face shields). After that, hearing someone counting compressions would make him vomit. One time, he did so into another guy's kit (tackle box filled with medical supplies). Once they had the patient loaded up, the guy simply closed up his kit, put it in the back of his truck (they were volunteers) and drove off. Later that week, he went and traded in the truck and left the kit inside. I feel for the poor guy who had to clean that car out. He probably thought he was getting a nice tackle box.

    Happy birthday! Today is my birthday, too.

    I take care of an old lady with Alzheimers and she didn't have on depends one morning before I got to her house. She had diahrrea from her bed to the bathroom. It was down the side of the toilet, sprayed on the walls, the floors, everywhere from her bed down the carpeted hallway to the toilet. Then she tried to clean it up herself and wiped it everywhere, then threw the sh!tty towels down the dirty clothes chute.

    Yep, by far the nastiest....even with having two kids.
