Exposure to raw sewage contamination and toxic sewer gas vapors can trigger a wide range of acute physical symptoms. Initial signs of sewer gas inhalation include persistent severe headaches, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, eye and throat irritation, and respiratory distress. In contrast, waterborne bacterial infections (such as E. coli, salmonellosis, or gastroenteritis) contracted from raw sewage contact typically manifest as severe abdominal cramps, vomiting, diarrhea, and fever within 12 to 72 hours.
