I'm sure it does.  But in the Western World, we don't use
(untreated) human manure on crops.  We don't use dog and cat
manure in our compost or on our crops either, because they
are subject to parasites that humans can also get.

In Asia, where untreated human manure *is* used on crops,
they don't eat the vegetables raw - they always cook them.

Ken has said that BT's plan is safe, so that's good.  I was
- as I said - being very cautious.

Cheers,
Pat
