Have you ever thought about how many dead people's remains you may have come in contact with simply by touching soil, dirt, mud, etc?

Do you go around moving th dirt in cemeteries or what?

@ElideInto I don't remember the last time I was even in a cemetery.

I was thinking about like from an accumulation of thousands of years.

People's remains decompose much, much faster than thousands of years unless they are preserved somehow. There's no trace of them left. Plus there's a lot of soil in the Earth. The proportion is so small that worrying about it seems silly. You probably breathe more dead cells from people every day than touch them through the soil
