This is not true.

Read up on how to pasteurize poo. If the poo ends up dense after being submerged in water, squeeze the excess out.  Problems have actually occured from the poo being too wet.

Once you get the hang of it though, you'll absolutely amaze yourself.

Good luck and be safe

as long as it is dried well it doesn't smell hardly at all, i just pasturised two big pans full of horse poo and my kitchen smelled nothing but faintly earthy, and a few minutes after i took the poo to another room the smell was gone, haven't smelled it since, the futer casings do not even smell at all unless i take a deep wiff, then it just smells like soil.
