  4. I've been thinking about organic gardening, #infectious #parasites and their effect on gardeners, catching up on research I noticed re #diseases in ancient Egyptian civilisations.

    Given that as society breaks down we are going turn more and more more to #human waste spread on land both as means of disposal and enrichment, what can do to protect ourselves from intestinal and skin parasites? (#Roundworm, #tapeworm etc)

    I know we already use composting toilets etc, but this relies on #composting human waste for around a year (or more) and maybe there will be a need to speed up (ot shortcut) the process as "normal" society collapses.

    So, what are the bare minimum requirements of a "safe" process, and are there any home remedies (#herbal brews, #salves and #potions) that have been used to treat these #infections in the past?
