Never intentionally or knowingly.

But I did watch a brief video of a couple of girls enjoying some fecal play which included intentional ingestion. It didn’t seem to agree with them because it was promptly regurgitated. Nevertheless, the feast continued for several more minutes. People are really different from me sometimes.

I believe that when I was four I once fished out a peanut from a turd and re-ate it. I’m sure there were some poo molecules on that one.

Never myself, but I know of at least 2 girls who have.

Also, everyone has some fecal matter in their oral cavities. True story.

[Meconium aspiration](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meconium_aspiration_syndrome)

Maybe not ingested, maybe _breathed._ But maybe both.

Wouldn’t call it “cosy,” exactly.

Meconium isn’t “poop” (which, I guess, is why you put it in quotes.)  
It’s the Cosmolene the human digestive system comes packed in. And it’s just as hard to remove.

Hmph. I have actually spelled “cozy” correctly before. :smack:
