        "text": "Toilet overflows, especially those involving sewage (black water), can pose significant health risks due to bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens present in wastewater. Exposure can lead to gastrointestinal illnesses, skin infections, respiratory problems, and other health issues. Even 'clean' water can become contaminated quickly and lead to mold growth, which also affects indoor air quality and can trigger allergies or asthma. Proper personal protective equipment and professional remediation are crucial for safety.",
