How can I safely dispose urine following BCG with a septic tank?

Posted by herman12345 @herman12345, Mar 14, 2024

Hello, I will be receiving BCG treatment shortly. I have a septic system on my property. Question is where can I safely dispose of contaminated urine following BCG treatment. My understanding is that I don’t want to put bleach or BCG into my septic system. Any ideas where to dispose of this? Thank you.

Your urine is "hot" for six hours after it is installed. While bleach is the standard disinfectant, I did OK with Lysol. This may be more friendly to your septic system. I made sure that any clothing that had contact / or may have had contact with the urine was bagged and washed separately and in hot water. I was able to hold it in my bladder for two hours because I requested that the catheter be kept in for the duration and I then unblocked it when I peed it out at home. I applied Baby diaper cream to the area to prevent irritation.

Is the main ingredient in the baby diaper cream you used zinc oxide?
