I doubt that the levels are anywhere near what they are in concentrated dog excrement.

And just where is this massive amount of dog excrement you seem to be rolling around in while gardening?
If my dog (or any other dog I've seen copping a squat on someone's yard, which is typically picked up immediately), does her business, it's no more than 6-12" from the curb...
And it's retention pond water. It comes from the lawns, and street drainage systems. Whenever I mess with my sprinklers, I immediately wash my hands when finished...
I would think you would do the same when gardening...
