This concept also has other applications; I recently read an article on persistent ear infections, the case in point was someone who had a stubborn ear infection in one ear that was cured by transferring bacteria from the uninfected ear. Who knew? I believe our aversion to things fecal is inborn; a survival mechanism that in days past protected us from parasites and disease.
