      That would potentially poison him. Human, dog, cat, and generally any carnivore/ omnivore shit is considered “hot,” and must be treated before use as manure.

          Fair enough, I just knew about the feces because I wanted to have some way to actually use my dog shit. It’s not really doable at home, unfortunately.

          Film theory did an interesting video where they concluded it’d be okay since he’d only be intaking a little over time. (Not saying that’s true)

        Yeah they reference this in the book, it’s always from him when he uses the bacteria (meaning in theory it’s only his own pathogens or bacteria). He uses his crews shit that’s been dried and left in Martian temperatures so it’s sterilised.

      It’s FICTION. Not real. Never happened. All events portrayed in this movie aren’t real.

      It is good fiction - possibly the best sci-fi movie to come along in a while, but nevertheless it’s still fiction.
