Can I become sick  by smelling my septic tank inside the house?

Sewer gas & the raw sewage itself can be extremely toxic. Not to freak you out, but you should get that issue resolved- get estimates from plumbers who specialize in digging drains & downspouts and then choose the least expensive of the options. If you resolve the issue of the sewage, you eliminate the health issue as well.

Well, 0.0047 ppm is the lowest concentration there can be which people can still smell. 10.0000 to 20.0000 ppm starts to cause eye irritation. So if it does exist below that level(0.0047 ppm), it's completely harmless.\n\nBUT... If you've ever gotten a real good sniff of it(150.0000-250.0000 ppm), it may have paralyzed your olfatic nerve (smeller) so that you can't smell the gas anymore. You would still be able to smell other things, but for some reason it desensitizes you almost permenantly to the gas itself.\n\nDo you have an aquarium? Sewer gas leak in the house? This could cause low levels of the gas to exist, if they are disturbed. I don't know of anyway to detect the gas other than to buy an instrument made for that purpose.

Typically sewage goes down into the pipes below your house/apartment and then those pipes join in with the main city sewer lines. Collectively, then the sewage goes to the treatment plant where it's treated, sorted into fertilizer, and then sent back into a stream/creek/wastewater receptical of some sort.\n\nIt can be dangerous to have a septic tank, as they are likely to leach nitrogen into the soils which cause environmental dangers.\n\nIt can be made safer if people are aware not to dump toxic chemicals into toilets/sinks.

Of course it will not give you health problems.  perhaps you are having an allergic reaction to the cleaning products you are using.

No No andNo.   I just saw a news broadcast (locally) that spotlighted the lingering long term effects about this very scenario.......You need to call your health dept and find out if the landlord had it "Properly" cleaned out.....fresh paint doesn't cut it!!!!

Laxative in his coffe, tea or beer.  Better still, sew some prawns into the linings of his curtains.  He will wonder for days where the stench is coming from, unless of course he reads Yahoo answers.   I can think of a few other things, but it wouldn't be legal.   Best of luck.

Depends on your location. Septic tanks, sewer ponds, composting toilets or even outhouses. The problem is, each method is crappy.

Keep an eye on your property as well. Do a physical check at least once a week. We just moved from an apartment complex that looked good on the surface but had many many health code voilations. Plumbing leaked and caused toxic mold under the sinks in the kitchen and bathroom, Mice, spiders, floor with an extreme weak spot, When I sent a certified letter, asking for repairs to be made, The landlord called Child services on me!

could be "honeymoon syndrome" scientifically known as Gardonella...which is a bacteria you can get from sex...doesn't mean someone is skipping out...you created it together, that is why it is jokingly called "honeymoon syndrome!!!  Will cause a fishy foul odor...a simple antibiotic.....OR maybe it could be a std...you didn't give much info.

yes, it depends on the individual. but if it's foul-smelling, there might be an infection

Even if you're showering/bathing every day, some amount of odor during the day is normal.  Use panti-liners and change them during the day.\nHowever, if the odor is extremely strong and accompanied by a discharge, such as a very yellow one or a white, 'cottage cheese' consistency', then you have an infection (usually a yeast one), please see your Dr. before you try over the counter products, yourOB/GYN will test to see exactly what type of infection it is and how to effectively treat it!

WASH YOUR HANDS CONSTANTLY!!! Like when you come back from like the supermarket or someplace like that. Don't touch handles on like bathrooms (wear gloves if nesassary). These are some of the most highly places for getting sicknesses. Supermarket shopping carts are the most germ ridden things ever. Be careful and stay clean.:)

Yes, those things and many more. It will shorten your life by many years and make you smell really bad.
