Just to uplift this conversation a bit....daubing bottom house with cow down. How safe was that? Ecoli does not die with the drying of the down. And we wondered why there was so many soorey battie babies running around. Note...my family did the same. I know the common sense idea is that the adobe hardening with by the sun and dry air means a "cleaner" surface but I wonder what we would see if we culture that soil to examine what bacterial colonies are festering there.
Wait, run dis by me again. People in the countryside used to spread cow dung in de bottom house?
Still do in every rural community. My family used to also. On reflection I think of the proliferation of ecoli communities across everything and cringe. I was told by a biologist friend that the bacteria is not active given it is in a dry environment. I wonder if the particles flew into one's tea or water. Don't make sense to me.
