  Yes, obviously. But what I was saying is that I don't recall
the people locally promoting composting placing any type of health
warning at all concerning this in their literature. Clearly there
is a larger health risk with this than they are telling the public
about. 
  If it is something environmentalists like then it appears
that it is all warm and fuzzy, but if it is something they don't
like they complain loudly. I  have never seen any of the local
literature promoting composting that had a health warning.
Clearly it needs one.
