Maybe if you have ebola or something like that you wouldn't want to, but I think most more normal bugs would just do their thing and decompose. If you get a ton of liquid in there (diarrhea or vomiting?) you may need to add more coconut coir or peat moss to keep it just damp not wet.Fy Nythhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04890253011233652121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1133711281720638678.post-11177984245640025222015-06-20T19:31:49.397-06:002015-06-20T19:31:49.397-06:00What would you recommend if you have food poisonin...What would you recommend if you have food poisoning or are ill and need to use the toilet?

(Like when you eat a bunch of asparagus and your urine gets a strong odor and turns lemon yellow. I'm guessing other foods may have an effect as well.) I am the only one using mine most of the time, and most days I am at work during the day, and so am using the bathroom there. I seem to need to empty mine about once a week. I have added a little sugar to the tank because I've read that will help with the odor, but I'm not sure if it's made a difference or not. I don't notice any urine smell unless I have the toilet open to take the container out to empty.Fy Nythhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04890253011233652121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1133711281720638678.post-29230559912809186952015-01-13T11:11:27.411-07:002015-01-13T11:11:27.411-07:00Hi Ariel! Thanks for your post. I'm living in ...Hi Ariel! Thanks for your post. I'm living in a tiny house as well and did a lot of research about composting and incinerating toilets before finally deciding upon the latter. Although I generally heard good things about the Nature's Head toilet, at least one person mentioned that they needed to empty the urine canister every couple of days, otherwise a smell would begin t build up. It seems like you're not having that problem, though. Are you doing something differently, or are you just managing with a slightly offensive smell, or something else?! Although my incinerating toilet has been serviceable so far, I am concerned about the smell it sometimes produces *outside* of the house, and so am again considering other options.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12832467737882643087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1133711281720638678.post-23142697499888204472015-01-12T19:14:00.880-07:002015-01-12T19:14:00.880-07:00Ok.
