My 2 years old toddler licked raw pork while I was preparing something else. I washed her mouth and clean her hands. I am still worry if she swallowed some raw pork juice and get sick. I contact poison center and they told me to watch her in a week for any symtopms. Can anyone give me an advices?

I used to eat raw sausages when I was a kid. I’m still here and there were no adverse effect

If the pork was not off, and she only had a really tiny amount from licking, it’s a really really small chance

If she did get sick, it would be a bad tummy for a day or two and then all fine

She has probably licked worse without you realising (stones from the ground, shoes, pram wheels?!) so don’t worry about it
If anything, it’s probably helping build her immune system. Toddlers are pretty gross so Mother Nature has made them quite robust

Iam so worry about Yersinia bacteria, Trichinosis, Salmonella. I have been reading and found crazy stories about those deadly bacterias

So stop reading...

And just keep an eye out like you were advised by professionals

Omg me too! I used to steal bits of sausage out the fridge. I loved it 😂

My Auntie Floss used to give me raw sausage sandwiches too. Loved them!

The odds are in her favour. She ingested a tiny amount of raw pork and will likely be absolutely fine. Kids, eh?

You seem disproportionately anxious. Do you usually have health anxiety or overthink things, especially around sickness?

Another raw sausage eater here. I used to eat a lot of weird things as a kid. I was crazy about plastic cheese.

I grow up eating the rind off of raw bacon. Eating the uncooked cake mix with raw eggs in. Calm down op.

My toddler ate a live worm, she is now a teenager.

I can definitely reassure you about trichinosis if you are UK, OP, pigs are tested for it before going into the food chain (obviously not going into food chain if positive, although it is rare anyway I believe).

If they were going to be poorly from it they would have been by now so if they wake up ok in the morning then I think you can relax about it.

I have to say I've made a LOT of sausages from scratch and never once got tempted to eat one, you dirty buggers 😂
