Dh and grandparents think it's nothing to worry about but I am. So dh took kids to meet grandparents at a local pub for lunch, then kids went back to their house afterwards. Dh came home and planned to pick them up later after they'd had tea there, as grandparents had offered. I've been at work and just got home.
Apparently dd (8) came running in from the pub garden where they'd been playing, upset because she had dog poo on her. Dh says it was all over her trainers, up her leggings, and on her top down one sleeve. They'd been playing with a ball they found and she didn't realise it had landed in dog poo, when she picked it up she got it on her, as well as slipping in it.
Dh says he took off the shoes and took her to the toilets, washed her hands with hot water and soap thoroughly, then used paper towels with hot water and soap to clean the dog poo off her top and leggings. She had wellies in the car boot so he put her in those and left the dirty trainers in the car. He said she was fine afterwards and they then had lunch in the pub. Then the kids went back with grandparents and dh came home.
I've just got home and he's now gone to pick the kids up. I'm worried that dd could have caught something from the poo, even if her hands were cleaned afterwards, she's been in those clothes all afternoon. There must be some residue left behind on them, though dh swears he got it all off, but with paper towels, soap and water? Surely they wouldn't be properly clean unless washed in a machine at a high temperature? She would have been eating and sucking her thumb in the meantime too. Am I worrying too much about catching something? I'll make sure she has a shower when they get back and I'll wash the clothes, should I buy a worm treatment tomorrow just in case? Dh can deal with the trainers.
He said when he went out to look at the pub garden after it happened there was a lot of dog poo on the grass, if only he'd gone out there with them and checked all was ok before letting them play...
