Question: Do you ever find it weird searching through peoples poo.

Yes, very weird!

The weirdest part of it was when I was given a box of samples from very young babies. A baby’s very, very fist poo ever is absolutely gross, they haven’t eaten any food, so the poo is made up purely from the bile and digestive juices your gut releases. It’s a horrible blackish, greenish, slimy blob, like tar. And it smells mostly of bile, which I think is worse than the smell regular poo.
