Well, say you were afflicted with the fairly common asymptomatic ascariasis infection (intestinal roundworms). If you eat your own poo which carries roundworm eggs, you can introduce more roundworms which will eventually overcome your system and make you symptomatic.
How’s that?
Shouldn’t this thread be in Cafe Society?
Are you suggesting that my answer isn’t factual?
Obligatory videos.

His brother Merle used to live close to me. He’d tell me some unbelievable stories, but I’m sure they were true.
Or on a shingle.
You know, I was going to put it the Koala joke here, but I’m kind of tired and still have work to do, and already wasted time posting emails from the president, so how about someone else doing it for me?
But just like everything else in life, the more bread you have, the less shit you have to eat. 
Fecal freak?
We all consume E. Coli and other bacteria which arose from feces of those we’re living mostly closely with, on a daily basis (in microscopic amounts, fortunately). We’ve generally learned to tolerate it without harm. Indeed, the microbe population in the gut becomes beneficial and necessary.
But this is why, when one enters into an intimate relationship with a new partner, both people may experience some untoward GI effects, as bowel flora are exchanged and new equilibriums are established. Over time, families tend to have very similar colonic biota.
Which is why, when C. Difficile infection requires treatment via fecal transplant, the donor source is generally a close family member. That way, the biome restored is a very close match to that which the patient had originally.
Which prevents wider campaigns to find donors amongst the population at large, sparing us such advertising mottos as “come on, give a shit!”
If it were lethal our dog wouldn’t have made it past her first birthday.
In seriousness, how come other animals eat each others’ and their own shit ALL THE TIME and it seems like it doesn’t affect them, but if humans do, it can and will likely kill them or make them seriously ill…
I see it with dogs all the time, my sisters dogs, an old lab, is like a vacuum outside when it comes to rabbit shit, she never gets sick. The other, a terrier-poodle terrorist does the same, but eats cat dumps out of litterboxes, rabbit shit and will steal and fully clean up a dirty diaper… if he throws up a belly full of assorted shit (if he has been outside, and near a diaper, he’s had two different kinds, guaranteed), he’d lap it up again. I get the feeling if a human did any one of those things a handful of times, they’d be dead.
In the summer of 1993, a bunch of us at work were talking about concerts we’d attended, and a guy who was a little off-kilter and had lived briefly in Austin, TX sheepishly said, “I saw GG Allin.” I replied, “All I know about GG Allin is that every time he performs, he always gets arrested. [see footnote] What does he do onstage, or do I want to know?”
Co-worker: “Oh, he shits onstage…”
Other co-workers: “You are lying!”
CW: “…he sticks his microphone up his butt…”
OCW: “You are making this up!”
When asked why he attended an event like this, he replied, “I just wanted to find out if the guy was for real.”
Yep, he was.
CW got another job, and the day after he quit, I read in Rolling Stone that Allin was dead. Too bad; I would have loved to have been the one to tell him myself. :o
Footnote: He didn’t get arrested at EVERY show, but the actual percentage was close enough.
Before baby koalas wean, they eat their mother’s feces to acquire the bacteria they need to digest eucalyptus leaves, which is their main diet.
I also heard on a “Dirty Jobs” episode that some Arab tribespeople occasionally swallowed camel pellets to prevent dysentery, for a similar reason.
To weigh in on this, here’s former Winnipeg grinders Swallowing Shit
Remember kids, always brush and floss after eating your shit.
Then it doesn’t sound like there is any real problem with doing ass to mouth to a woman or having her toss salad.
Traditionally, camel dung was used as fuel for cooking fires in the MidEast. Presumably, the food cooking above such a fire would include some small part from the fire.
That’s what this was all about?
