I look forward to seeing a lifehacking hyper-optimizer streamline this to a polished daily workflow...
"I have a bucket of mud, in which I stick my hands for 15 minutes every morning.
Every weekend, I inoculate at a 1:5:5 ratio with biologically active stream dirt (after petri-dishing to check for activity), and a mix of poor-quality soil cover, and some compost; I finish by adding a 10-10-10 balanced fertilizer.
Recently, I've been seeing if there are any additional benefits to smearing all over my arms; I'm conducting a 3 month/3 month comparison experiment, with a washout period in-between...

They'd be copying the greats! I have seen a distinct pattern of artists and photographers doing self portraits while rolling around in shit or mud.

Dirt is good to prevent you from getting sick easily.

Kids benefit from being kids and rolling around in the grass.
In which cities are people favouring local parks over toilets?
Parasites can actually help with allergies. I am loosely aware of various attempts at treating allergies using parasites.
One of the approaches taken (under medical supervision) for kids with bad nut allergies is to gradually expose them to more of the allergen. Being able to survive a peanut or two without anaphylaxis is life-changing.

What do you think soil is made of? Where do you think it comes from?
throw93947309 30 minutes ago [-]
Soil is made from dead plants and properly decomposed stuff, not fresh excrements that are classified as "toxic waste" by city code.

The slugs in your soil carry a parasite which can cause lifelong paralysis if it enters your body, a lot of the worms do too. Those decomposing leaves carry tetanus. Your perspective is not aligned with reality.

This is like the dumbest take ever, do you think people go and take a shit on the park in big European cities?
I live in Berlin and compared to most other European cities it’s a shit hole, but one thing I can tell you is the cleanliness and green nature of the public parks. Most of the time people actually care about the public parks (with exception of few)
However, one thing to worry about is the tick bites or any other insect bites, but that’s part of the nature

No they won't you hysterical boob. Youre fear of germs is irrational. Get a grip

I am not poop lover, some city folks are poop lovers.
I wrote to go into nature, without poop. It has nothing to do with regular germs!
> Take them to real nature, where grass is not used as a toilet by city folks
Just becauee you follow basic hygiene, and cook your food, and shit into toilet (not street), does not make you "germofoob"

You're severely misunderstanding how germs and infections work. But germphobes have the phobia as a response to stress, its never a logical position they take.
You're feelings rule your intellect on this one I'm afraid, that's a textbook definition of irrationally

Simlle question: i see dozens animals shitting on the same spot every day. Next day I see a child playing at that spot, should a say something? Is that an overreaction?

Lol no but you are not rational my friend and definitely in germophobe group :) And no amount of exclamation marks will change that, in contrary.
I think you need to re-visit some basic science about bacteria, human immunity and general advices on how to raise children with regard to those topics. If you don't, you will harm your children in pretty bad ways
