i'd treat manure from any source like i'd
treat chicken from the grocery store. assume
contamination and wash with non-bacterialcide
loaded soap anything that came in contact
with it.

on your own farm, with your own animals
and controls you can do as you like and
be quite safe. this however, doesn't apply
to a lot of the rest of the world that is
getting hit by a lot of feedlot meat and
manure.

i'm doing my best to avoid the trouble
by trying not to use outside manures, animals
or meats. i don't get sick that often either.
before i'd changed my habits i was getting
sick several times a month. now it's once
or twice a year (if that).
