[Cob] poop in compost

Hi there,

I read 'I believe' in the Cob List archives a long time ago about a family
who were getting sick a lot. They contributed this problem to eating
vegetables from the patch that grew (albeit very well) on top of their leach
field. Maybe this is a chemically different situation than adding poop to
compost. Just wondering if anyone knows if there are any health issues with
adding poop to the compost pile. I would assume that any bacteria would be
long gone by the time carrots were popping up but I ain't no scientist.

Thanks,

Jenny Walker
