The Rules

...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

That is cow shit, not human shit. It's already safe, it's just grass and the bacteria that ferment it. Human waste has human pathogens in it.

Carnivore waste in general is more foul and we have an instinctive disgust response to it.

Farm anecdote time, if you wipe out and fall in cow shit it's like "lol I got cow shit all over me better take a shower when we're done" but if you even step in dog shit it's "oh nasty hang on I got dog shit on my boot I gotta scrape it off right now"

Cattle can get both listeria and salmonella, which are human pathogens.
