Hmmmm. In the late 1980s, one of the London hospitals was having
problems with corrosion of the cast iron pillars supporting the
building, sited under what had been the main entrance.
Analysis of the
corroding fluid showed that its main constituent was horse urine......
I imagine the last horse to piss on the pillars probably did so around the
time of WW1, so 70 years for it to take effect doesn't sound bad to me,
considering they must have been pissing on them for 30-50 years before that.
If not longer. There was a huge reservoir of the stuff in the ground,
that was seeping out and rotting the fabric of the building. The
effects of horse (or, indeed, any other organism in high quantity)
effluvium are not totally beneficial.
The real problem is too many humans and who is going to grasp that
particular nettle?
