Compost Heap. Horse Manure. Pathogens.
Nick wrote after Bob Hobden wrote: Pathogens in Horse dung? Please advise what and any scientific papers that back it up. I know it is a big carrier of Tetanus but not heard about anything else of concern. Try anthrax. However, with both tetanus and anthrax, you are likely to have trouble only if the dung comes from a stable where they shovel dead horses out with the bedding. Not generally the case .... I agree there are possibly some other pathogens in Horse dung but in practice they don't pose much of a risk to human health these days. Not worth worrying about provided you use normal sensible measures like washing hands etc. -- Regards Bob Hobden just W. of London |
