Right?  I know this is an old post but that 3 billion number seems to keep getting used as a scare tactic! If people only knew how many millions of bacteria we have floating on our bodies, noses, mouth etc.

What I dislike about picking up my dog's poop is that when it's kinda too soft it actually makes it easier to wait a day or so for it to dry up and harden and then it's much easier to pick up.  But "Oh no! The germs!" No wonder we're all walking around pilled up on antihistamines.
