Manure

Manure generates [[heat]] as it decomposes, and it is not unheard of for manure to [[spontaneous combustion|ignite spontaneously]] should it be stored in a massive pile.  Once such a large pile of manure is burning, it will [[air pollution|foul the air]] over a very large area and require considerable effort to extinguish.  Large [[feedlot]]s must therefore take care to ensure that piles of fresh manure (feces) do not get excessively large.  There is no serious risk of spontaneous combustion in smaller operations.

There is also a risk of insects carrying feces to food and water supplies, making them unsuitable for human consumption.
