Nonsense. The pathogens in urine, shit, and corpses are almost never airborne. And the fumes are only toxic in extremely high concentrations. The chance of getting sick is effectively zero.

Nonsense. The risk is nonzero. Turbid air takes a toll both physically and mentally, and can lead to inflammation and weakening of the body's defenses. Your definition of sick is quite narrow.

No you're just making things up. The link you posted doesn't support your statement.

> Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) encompass VOCs emitted by plants, animals, or microorganisms,

> VOCs are produced by animals and microbes

Try to have substantiative things to say instead of spouting off false declarations and inflammatory insults.
