Will he get sick from poo?

Put two year old in "time out" in his cot for literally 5 mins for smacking, only to go up and discover he'd smeared sh*t over everything - his cot, the mattress, himself from top to toe... obviously bathed him straight away, using Dermol antimicrobial (he has sensitive skin), but my question is, is he likely to get sick?? He had rubbed it all over his face, in his eyes, probably in his mouth...

Wanted to conclude this one in case anyone stumbles accross it in the future - toddler was absolutely fine in the end. No poo related drama other than the inconvenience of cleaning it off the wall - phew!

You say 5 minutes but I find that hard to believe, the poor child was clearly in distress amd went on a poo protest! Would take longer than 5 minutes cry for a bit, shit, take clothes off, smear shit all over fave and body and cot. You're doing something wrong here...

Not all kids take their time about it, when attempting a dirty protest my 2 year old can cry and take all his clothing and nappy off within seconds.

And also, using where child sleeps as a punishment tool is wrong aswell.

It's an old thread and the op seems fixed in their view but I 100% agree with this.
