Some people have dogs that run around in dog poo covered yard and come inside and run around the house an jump up on furniture and put their paws on you and give them doggie kisses. And they give them treats off the eating utensils they are still using.
Then, I would think they would be less sensitive in terms of perception as well as literally/physically -- repeated exposure building increased resistance -- to doggie germs.
Same with other animals/pets like --
Some people have cats that walk all over their pillows and kitchen counters, tables, and even cutting boards.
Some people ride horses and walk/work in their manure all the time. And when it's windy and gusts of wind blow the dry "dust" from the paddocks and riding rings around... Well.

The majority sentiment seems to be "better off without walnut leaves in the compost, but if you must use them, let the compost age quite well before using it."thepumpkin wrote:Would this also work for typical walnut leaves? I know they shouldn't be used for mulching because of the tannins, but maybe for composting should be fine.

I also have a couple of friends who breed rabbits. Rabbit manure can be used fresh or cured. During the summer I got a panic call from a friend. Her compost pile was infested with maggots. She had been adding dog poop and meat scraps. Makes my skin crawl to think about it.
