It’s a fair question. If I eat some poop, will I be ill?
It’s like asking if getting a piercing will hurt. It may do and it may not. We have had piercings that many people said they couldn’t feel and which hurt for us, and vice versa. It depends on you and we can’t say.
Is it natural to eat poop? Well, in the sense that eating is a natural process, as is digestion and pooping. Poop is a natural byproduct from a human body.
Is it normal? Well, there are animals that eat poop, for a reason. We humans don’t. If we did, sites like this would not exist.
If you do a search for consequences of eating poop, you will find a load of sites listing all sorts of complications. Just because there are lots of sites and just because there could be lots of complications does not mean you have a high chance of bad stuff happening.
If you search for people saying they had no problems, you will find some but few, because it’s not a big thing. They just get on with it.
We can’t say. Having done much research, we believe the chances of getting something nasty are very small but not zero. If all involved are healthy, it’s very low.
If you read about it and decide it’s not for you, that’s a great decision. If you read about it and think it is for you, that’s a great decision. Only you can decide. We are not trying to persuade you, or put you off.
We are asking anyone who reads this: if you have eaten poop, did you have any serious medical problems afterwards that were caused by eating poop?
You can answer in the comments, or on our polls page. A simple yes or no is all that’s required. Anonymous, of course…
And by the way, drinking pee is usually fine.
