I was watching a homesteading show where they were designing a small structure to capture waste from their goats to use it as fertilizer and it got me thinking about what makes some poop safe to grow food and others not so much.
In: Biology
Human feces contain germs that grow well inside human bodies. This is why germs coming from poop to your mouth (called fecal-oral transmission) is such a common way to get sick. Putting those pathogens into the soil your food is growing in means they will go in your mouth when you eat the food. This will make you sick very easily.
