I was pretty sure dusease concerns were the primary reason for not using human waste. Was hoping the article addressed that, but it did not.
Raw waste is, of course, nasty stuff until all the dangerous bacteria have been killed off, either by heat or anaerobic digestion.

Right, but the entire reason to prefer herbivore waste is because it is much less likely to spread disease when handled improperly.
