My one year old has started to love walking outdoors.
Took her out today along a path to a park. Her favourite thing was to walk in the muddy verge. Obviously she toppled over a few times and her hands got muddy. I wiped them off as best I could but not thoroughly. Properly washed them when I got home.
It now occurs to me, what if there was dog poo on her hands. She was rubbing her eyes and putting her fingers in her mouth when we were walking....
I know there's nothing I can do about it now, it was this morning and her hands have been washed countless times since including her bath.
We live in a rural farming village, there's LOADS of mud and animal poo around. My mum never followed me around with wet wipes and alcohol gel, and I don't want to become OCD about this, but seriously, dog and cat shit can cause toxoplasmosis and blindness right?! What if she HAD got it in her eye. Would there have been some kind of reaction that I would have noticed before putting her to bed??
It she lying there slowly going blind?
(I have PND and tendency to become anxious about silly things)
