If it was compost, it may have had manure in it, sometimes they use chicken shit. I put it down to personal hygene after handling the stuff.

A little off thread here. Years ago, my Uncle worked for the "Welcome Foundation" Now Smith Kline Glaxo. In Dartford Kent. He told us a story of one worker, who had worked there for 25 years, handling toxic chemicals, suddenly dropped down dead. After the postmortem, it was revealed that he had enough cyanide in his system to kill a herd of elephants.
Apparently, he always used protective gloves when handling said chemicals, but every time he took them off he removed them with his teeth, therefore imbibing a small amount of cyanide every time, until his body could take no more.

Ok Ok I thought it was interesting.
