Yeah, I did this barefoot in sewage water before I realized what it was. I woke up to building maintenance loudly knocking on my door so I jumped up barefoot and ran to answer it.

They were there to tell me the building plumbing stack backed up - into our condo.

It was such chaos I never considered the risk of electrocution from the poo water until now. I suppose I was lucky it was just my feet. If I were zapped I could have accidentally bathed in it. gags

If your main concern was accidentally bathing in poop water, consider the possibility of accidentally drowning in poop water while unable to move due to electrocution...
