Nicotine poisoning: How much did the child ingest? If it was just a tiny bit things are probably ok. I strongly encourage you to monitor your child for signs of nicotine toxicity:vomiting, excessive salivation(drooling), abdominal pain, pallor, sweating, fast heartbeat, difficulty maintaining balance, tremor, headache, muscle twitches.Please keep all potentially dangerous substances out of the reach of children.
