I've often suspected that the irrigation water is, at least, partially responsible for the crapgrass, weeds, mold and other undesirable issues with the yards and home exteriors. If I happen to get sprayed for some reason, I go in ASAP, shower well (not just rinse off) change my clothes, wash the dirty clothes and hope a vitamin C can stand up to any nasty bug or parasite that might have gotten to me.
Can't say I blame you. I've been in areas and smelled that non-potable water. I guess people get used to it, but it made me nauseous.
