Every breath you take brings in thousands to millions of organisms. In ord=
er to be alive, you have to be able to deal with those organisms.
Don't even think about the organisms you breath in when you flush the toile=
t! And you survive that all the time.
So, compost tea, if properly made, contains beneficial organisms that won't=
be a problem. In fact, may help prevent infections by replacing organisms=
on your skin surface that will protect from undesirable organisms that wou=
ld like to cause problems if your surfaces are un-protected.
Remember, just like plants, people release exudates that microorganisms con=
sume and grow on. Make sure they are good guys, and not bad guys.
How can you tell what you have on your surfaces?
Ask your significant other about body odor......... good guys don't make th=
e stinky smells, bad guys do........
Got BO? Possibly you need to adjust your body surface microorganisms..... =
compost, or compost extract or compost tea can help!

This is all I could find. Cornell had a little blurb on their waste managem=
ent website, but neither list could be called comprehensive. It looks like =
a dust mask and proper hand washing would be all you would need if you fall=
into the "at risk" category (ie. respiratory problems, immune deficiencies=
, etc.) I would think you would have a greater chance of throwing out your =
back or giving yourself a heart attack from overworking than having problem=
s inhaling airborne pathogens.
