Accidentally got bird poo in my mouth, what are the health risks?

Depends: For starters it would help to know what kind of bird it was and whether or not the poop was fresh. I would suggest that you brush, floss, and gargle with an antiseptic mouthwash or salt water. If you start to develop any symptoms like fever, cramps, etc. Then go to the doctor and tell them what happened. Try and be as specific as you can. Good luck.
