In exchange for food, they continue to aid the humans. However, problems emerged with the Filth Eaters when it was discovered they were disease carriers.

Culture
Filth Eaters are monsters that helps dealing with rubbish. So far they appear to be peaceful as they aid humans in dealing with Sanitary Slimes.

Nevertheless, people just could not be grateful to them. That is because Sanitary Slimes are not really infectious themselves, while the Filth Eaters are known to carry colonies of pathogens. The people they rescued all fell severely ill, mostly because of encephalitis.
