We had some really great threads last year, with the following four nominated for the Thread of the Year award in this January's Environment Site Awards ceremony.

I think they're great and give a real sense of what the forum is capable of, so if you're looking for a reason to join, check these out.

I am no expert, but this is from a book of trivia I own

"There are two potentially sight-damaging parasites that are sometimes found in contaminated dog faeces. The single celled parasite toxoplasma gondii can cause the disease toxoplasmosis, while the parasite Toxocana canis can lead to toxocariasis. Both can result in blindness"

(similar with cat faeces)
