Toddler ate bird poo

Hi,

My just turned 3 year old got pigeon poo in her mouth when going down the slide today and she likely ingested it as it wasn't in her mouth anymore as I went to get her drink from her pushchair nearby to swish it out (now I wish I just got it out of her mouth myself instead of getting her drink to swish it out). I still got her to swish out her mouth anyway and drink lots of water. I never thought she would eat any poo let alone bird poo. She picks up illnesses easily and I'm worried as there are lots (like 60) illnesses and diseases from ingesting bird poo. I've been fretting about it since.

Has this happened to anyone else?

I promise you this is not even the worst thing she will eat before she grows up.

Hello! I just wondered how your little one was in the end? We think our 3yo accidentally did this today at a picnic! I’m freaking out a bit! Hope yours was ok
