A guess? Pathogens in this context are largely invisible, don't have the same "Ewww!" factor.

They're very visible! Often splattered all over us! They were talking abt faeces and open sores. Also vomit, blood, sputum, pus etc.

Evo psych context. What caregiver type jobs most likely to come into contact vs sex ratios? Ex: Here nurses F dominated, orderlies mostly M.
-
Speculative. I ask because I don't know.
-
It's nurses and carers who have to clean most of the poop, vomit, urine and wounds & they're mostly female. Not to mention child carers.

As an aside, my mum was a nursing assistant after raising her own brood of 9. She described her job as "cleaning shit".

True, but being more alert to those pathogens may make them BETTER nurses...
