I have access to free pecans, all I care to harvest, but they are in a
horse
pasture, and of course, there is manure scattered about under the
trees.
Are these pecans safe to eat? The idea of eating pecans that have fallen
where the horses deposit their manure has me a bit concerned about
health
issues. Does anyone have an opinion? TIA

I just threw away my entire carrot crop. why? I had forgotten that I
had manured the garden. I also let the lettuce bolt, so it gets tall.
I then eat only the top leaves, which are far above the ground. Hope
this helps.

My grandfather was a farmer and put a crop in every year until he died at
85.

He always used manure on his food crops as did all the farmers in our area.

No one that I'm aware of had any health problems from eating any the
vegetables.
