Went for Christmas photos today and the photographer used some type of plastic snow from temu and now I am panicking if little one breathed or ate any!

Went for some Christmas photos today with our 1 year old and we had to sit with our son and throw a couple handfuls of plastic snow into the air for a few of the photos and then blow some towards the camera after.

Afterwards I noticed some of the bits were like grains of sand the bigger bits had all gone on our sons hair and on us. Some were a little sharp as well. They are quite thin bits and bend easy.The photographer told us afterwards it was from Temu.

Really concerned if we could have possibly breathed any of that in and with it bekng temu what the hell it was even made of.

It looked like thishttps://www.therange.co.uk/christmas/christmas-crafts-and-stationery/christmas-arts-and-craft-sets/create-and-decorate-your-own-christmas-crafts/decorative-snow-100g#369684

All over the car seat as well so no idea if they ate any while they was in the back of the car or just from their feet and back.

All clothes have gone in the wash as well.

Am i blowing this out of proportion? Any advice?

I’m afraid that I think you are, however I was probably the same with my first child and relaxed after second child

Would you not even think anything of it then? I start to worry he has breathed in microplastics and they are stuck in his lungs and keep spiralling like that 😥

Are you generally a very anxious person?

YABU obviously! I would vacuum the car seat just in case there is possible chocking hazard from fake snow….

Is this a joke? I’ve definitely consumed a lot worse than a bit of plastic snow in my day 😬

This is anxiety talking, sorry OP.

I wouldn’t but it is probably reasonably common for first time mums. Am sorry you are feeling anxious and maybe speak to your GP if it’s impacting on your life. Sending a hug 🤗

If he's swallowed any it will just go right through him and microplastics are in our food chain already as much smaller particles that you can't filter out so he will (as will you) be injesting them for the rest of his life.
