That would potentially poison him. Human, dog, cat, and generally any carnivore/ omnivore shit is considered “hot,” and must be treated before use as manure.
Yeah they reference this in the book, it’s always from him when he uses the bacteria (meaning in theory it’s only his own pathogens or bacteria). He uses his crews shit that’s been dried and left in Martian temperatures so it’s sterilised.

The perchlorates in the Martian regolith he uses for most of the soil would kill him faster.
Fair enough, I just knew about the feces because I wanted to have some way to actually use my dog shit. It’s not really doable at home, unfortunately.
