getting one's hands dirty...cover up or remove.
dealing with the murky and harmful stuff of life. deal with it straightaway, with the hands. but it needs to be dealt with.
(discussion about having God's name written on one's skin, should it be covered before immersing in water. or is immersion in water something that needs to be done immediately and so doesn't need to be covered. later on the page there is a discussion about covering feces or scorpions with a bowl. or can they be carried out immediately as it is disgusting. or killed immediately as act of prevention. for english translation of this talmud page, see here)
