There was a thread about this a few years back but I couldn't find it.

Take the article with a pinch of salt as it's classic Daily Mail but quite interesting nonetheless ...

You quite often see it on poo in winter too.
New Scientist magazine had a good online article on it a while back, should still.be available.
It's pretty stuff, see it quite often up here in winter.
