Sewer sprays blood on maintenance worker

Blood spurted out of a Minneapolis sewer last month, spraying a city worker who was cleaning the pipes. Apparently, it was a mix of human and animal blood dumped legally by a nearby medical laboratory. The Public Works department now requires their workers to wear goggles or a face mask when near that particular manhole. From WCCO:

"Blood just all over my face, in my mouth, I could taste it. It was terrible. I had it in my mouth and I kept spitting and I couldn't get rid of it," said (Sewer Maintenance Worker Ron) Huebner...

When asked if it's safe to have blood in the sewers, the (Metropolitan) Council said it is no more harmful than most other wastes in the sewer.
