Just another reason to wear garden gloves - Legionnaire’s disease in the compost.
Turns out the moist, bacteria-happy, nutrient-rich compost pile is the perfect environment for Legionnella. And your thorn-scratched arms and bashed fingers are the perfect portal for the disease.
Drat says this gloveless gardener!

Funny you mention those gloves. I found mine in the masonry department. Cheap yes, and my favs.

Important comment on the gloves. We just take it for granted it wont happen to us. I even wear a mask when raking leaves to block spores. Saves me later.
Can beat those cheap gloves at HD that are dipped in rubber. I even wash them.
Wear you gloves, please.
