Maybe. Or perhaps if the Spaniards didn’t slice & dice them they might have perished from eating eColi infected Maize.

Haven’t people known not to do this for thousands of years?

It is very dangerous to do this. Hard to believe someone would tell people this is okay.

why wouldn’t it be safe to use human excrement ??

Untreated, it will contain various pathogens. Properly treated (sterilized) it's definitely safe for use as lawn fertilizer.

Anyone been in VietNam knows that wonderful smell of this being used for crops.

Seeing them in the field rolling up a trouser leg and squatting right there warns you off eating local.

If dog poop isn’t good to use why would human poop be acceptable?

Fresh or partially decomposed human manure would be risky. Having it totally breakdown and aged with composting would be the way to go.

***Fertiliser made from human faeces and urine is safe to use***

It has been used as “Night Soil” for thousands of years throughout the world as has Cow, Horse, chicken and hog manure.

E-COLI problems have almost always been traced to farm workers refusing to use the porta potties provided.

They drop trou & go wherever they please-—and have for YEARS.

I have no idea of the validity of this article, I will say if it’s safe to use chicken, cow and other animal manure in fertilizers

You get human manure from sewage systems, where lots of other stuff, including toxic chemicals, gets tossed.

Using untreated human fecal sludge is dangerous. More of a 3rd world practice.

Many City water systems ‘recycle’ the water. It goes down your toilet, gets scrubbed and cleaned (except those pesky pharma’s) and then comes out your tap for drinking and cooking.

Anyone remember when scientists said uranium treated food seeds were safe in the fifties.

Same reason it’s not safe to use dog poop -— most humans are meat eaters, so it rots in a more stinky way. Now if we were all vegans... (Apparently, bugs don’t count.)

Golf courses across America have been using secondary treated waste water (grey water) for decades to irrigate and fertilize the fairways and greens. Works great, but I wouldn’t advise anyone to lick the golf ball after a round.
