can comment about it being on my hose cos i'm still a ladder man but i hate the stuff.
a funny story, one day my mate walked cat sh*t up his ladder and never realised, that was until he put the ladder on his shoulder and the sh*t went in his ear. not a happy bunny.
as to ditching them or not, if it happens evey time and takes a while to clean up, i would, plus you have to think of your health, lots of bad bugs in sh*t.
