How does not picking up dog poop spread illnesses?

241 views

I was cleaning up my backyard today, specifically picking up my dog poop. It got me thinking of a sign I read in my neighborhood park. It said to make sure to pick up your dog poop because it can spread illnesses.

I’m wondering what makes not picking up dog poop spread illnesses. What kind of illnesses does it spread and how does it spread?.

Of course I know that if you were to eat dog poop then you would probably get a whole bunch of illnesses, but if it’s just sitting there on the grass, How would we get sick from it?

Also if small bits of poop remain on the grass, are we still susceptible to the illness?

People step in it, then step in other places. Kids play in it. Soccer balls get kicked into it. Etc etc
