Horse manure?

Rob Halgren writes: Messy, a bit. Unsanitary? I strongly doubt that horse manure is a vector of human disease. It is. Tetanus and other nasty germs thrive in more or less all kinds of soil and manure. Indeed, the tetanus bacterium is a normal part of a horse's intestinal flora. This is also true for many other animals. Curiously, horses themselves must be immunized against tetanus. The situation is analogous to that involving humans and --E. coli--; as long as the bacteria stay where they belong, they aren't a problem. Introduced to other parts of the body, they cause trouble.
