Who Knew: Cow Poo Helps Reduce Chances of Developing Lung CancerWorking with manure can drastically reduce chances of developing lung cancer, according to a report in The Daily Telegraph.Dairy farmers are five times less likely than the general populace to develop the disease, New Scientist magazine reports.The study found farmers typically breathed in dust that consisted largely of dried manure and all the bacteria that grew in it.New Scientist said adults who had a greater exposure to germs than usual might build up a better resistance to bugs, including cancer."Some researchers are starting to wonder whether the higher incidence of certain cancers in affluent populations — including breast cancer, lymphoma and melanoma — might also have something to do with sanitized, infection-free living," the researchers said, noting the unexpected links between exposure to dirt and germs and cancer risk.
I deal with baby poo everyday, does that count?
Well, I did take a big wiff of the nastiest poo ever when I changed her last. Who knew something so dainty and cute could poo that much. I should deal it, make some extra money on the side.

Grew up on and worked on dairy farms until I was in my 20s,and usually get to drive past a field with manure freshly spread on it most days.I am almost immortal.
