Not legal to spread 'night soil' on land used for crops (even hay) anymore unless it is sterilized. Chinese use it all the time. They also have high incidence of liver flukes and other nasty parasites. Some of the pests will form 'cysts' which are eggs in a very protective covering. These are very difficult to kill. Note: Pasteur found several bugs that are responsible for curing hay could survive the boiling hot temperatures in hay bales. Even if you can get the stuff cheap from a septic tank service, don't do it.

manure is excreta - if you want to use human excreta as a fertiliser then you should store it for about 3 - 6 months to allow it to decay.
Be aware that spreading human excreta which has not beed sterilised (e.g. by heating) invites the introduction of parasites into the human food chain if you use the human fertiliser on food crops.
Simply put, anyone carrying a parasite such as a tapeworm will excrete the eggs which will then end up in the fertiliser in the soil. If the crop is not then cleaned sufficiently, anyone eating that crop may end up eating the parasite eggs and also become infected.

seriously speaking i wouldn't do it if you dont have some type of means of properly storing it and fertilizing the excrement it could be a serious health hazard for any and all indiviuals within the area that you are using the manure whether it is being congeted or not. on a less serious note just make sure it aint diarrehea

Hi. It would have to be completely sterilized.
