Yes technically, but… I was gonna say “how would you even act on that?” but decided I’d prefer not to know.

As someone who does know how transplanting gut biome works... yea, you absolutely don't want to know.

Just know that a "Stool Bank", which is a facility which holds samples of fecal matter tested to ensure no transferable disease, is a real thing that exists and is relevant to this discussion.
