SHH:
The rain dilutes the concentration Juniper, it washes it into the ground. And it rains alot up there. North Georgia gets rainfall so often that it comes in second to the pacific northwest which is the wettest area of the country. I dont know what area of the country you reside in so I dont know how often it would rain in your area to dilute the fields. It is no different from any other field in the country. Birds, dogs, cats, wild animals, etc all use rural fields. The rain doesnt increase the bacteria, it dilutes it. Once again, the issue of whether or not geese pose a health hazard has been debated for years. There is no hard evidence. If you knew of a school that shut down a field it was probably as a precaution to ease parents minds, not due to a real hazard. I found at least 7 websites right off the bat that stated there is no proven health risk. Even when bacteria is present in areas, there is debate on whether or not it actually can cause harm to humans. But go ahead and petition to get the geese removed if they can, it might take awhile for the geese to leave though because they have been visiting that lake for years. Suggest the scarecrow idea.

These are a few of the ones I found, and there are those sites that show the other opinion also so its been a debate for years. But there appears to be no real hard evidence showing that walking in a field with geese will make one sick.

RobertBruce:
Mrs. Grey you are beyond dumb. I'll tell you what though, lets test your little theory about no ill health effects. Lets allow dozens of geese to come by and crap on your lawn, we'll do this for a couple of years consecutivly and then force your children to go play in it every day for two years straight. I wonder if they'll have any problems?

Oh and again you give yourself far to much credit. You and Fat Bill had zero interaction with the students or the campus beyond his office. You never spent time with any of the students, I met you all of once and that was the only time I ever saw you. Ive asked numerous other former students if they remember you, none of them do, because you were never around. In fact many of them were surprised Fat Bill was even married. Why is that Mrs. Grey? Maybe we were all just to stoned to ever notice you.

SHH:
Well seeing as how we lived on campus, we were married for almost 7 yrs, had 3 children on campus, visited my mother and father in law every 3 or 4 days on campus, and I went to Bill's office to deliver the mail every day during the week, ate in the cafeteria at every thanksgiving and several times a month, I doubt seriously your claim that ANYBODY didnt know Bill was married or knew who I was. Was I invisible? I dont think so. I also used the copier in the admin building every time I sent out report cards. Maybe they didnt know my name, but they sure as hell saw me because every time I was out in the yard, or on campus, or down by the lake, I saw students. Was I invisible then? NO I dont think so. What about he bonfire at Halloween that was my idea, I attended that. What about the fireworks the first 4th of July. I attended that. Maybe the people you happen to speak to just didnt pay attention. But if I was up there and lived there they KNEW he was married...DUH. His kids visited the office at least once a week. IF anybody thought Bill wasn't married they were living in the clouds or something.

Deborah:
"Walking in a field" with geese probably wouldn't present a serious concern. And was not the issue. Another mute argument.
Sitting on it, doing push-ups in it, playing any kind of ball game in it, tracking it into buildings, would significantly increase the risk.
Is goose poop totally free of harmful pathogens? Say a kid was playing tennis or football and the poop got on the ball and therefore on their hands. And then that kid neglected to wash their hands.
If I lived near a situation like that I'd have my kids play elsewhere and they certainly wouldn't wear their shoes into the house if they'd been tromping around in it. They'd change clothes if they sat in it.
