It is easy to forget what it was like when we first got the allotment and the things that are a habit to us now, that may not have been to begin with.
This is just a warning really, added as I do mention frequently that I make compost and use horse muck on the plot. When you are working on a plot of land that is being treated with manure you need to check out if you need to have tetanus injections your doctor or pharmacist will be able to give you advice on this subject.
You also need to get into the routine of washing the food that you take home from the allotment carefully. One more factor is to wash your hands before you eat or drink after working on the vegetable plot.
If any more thoughts about garden/allotment safety occur to me I will update this post.
