The guy on the street outside wears thick waterproof pants and thick waterproof rubber boots when he cleans the street with a pressurized water hose.
Water is generally considered safe [citation needed], but you still don't want to get hosed in it for hours on a daily basis.
- Constantly wet feet catch fungus and foot rot.
- Water lowers your body temperature, making you more susceptible to infection from and outbreak of common cold.
- Containing water contamination to an surface - instead of your clothes and skin - makes it easier to rid yourself of surplus water when taking a break.
- Wet clothes are highly impractical because they are heavy and shed water everywhere you go for hours after.
TLDR; Protective clothing doesn't imply toxicity.
