However, there are parasites that are common to dogs and cats that can survive this process, such as, roundworms and toxoplasmosis. However, if you consult your veterinarian it is possible to virtually eliminate all parasites from your pet if you follow your veterinarian's instructions. Personally, I de-worm my dog once each month when I give them their heartworm preventative each month. [Those with serious immune system suppression probably should not do bokashi for any purpose either way, though.] As a licensed veterinary nurse for 20 years I can tell you that there are no “viruses” that are transmissible from dog or cat to humans through the system described.

I am really satisfied with my Bokashi. I think it is a really good way to compost, especially for people like me, who are living in an apartment! Thanks for a nice read. Roel Nice article Tina!

It may take a little while to get in the groove, but I feel better knowing that I am reducing the amount of waste going to landfill.

Obviously you can't dig holes and even our hot composters freeze up. What I do is tip a bucket now and then into the compost bin anyhow (covered with some leaves or newspaper) to help keep it alive. Most of my Bokashi goes straight from the bin into my little "soil factory" -- sounds fancy but it's just a big plastic storage box with lid. Layer the Bokashi with garden soil (fill a bucket in the autumn and keep it handy), leaves, old pot plants, etc. The warmer the better, ideally a cellar or garage. You'll have a great supply of "supersoil" when spring finally comes around!

I think Bokashi is wonderful for people who don't have a lot of room, even though they still must put the Bokashi materials in a normal compost making situation or bury it outdoors in their garden. For the person who mentioned dog poop, worms eat dog poop so a wormery just for this would be a good solution. The castings that result can be used in an ornamental garden. Interesting article.
