A member asked:
What happens if an infant accidentally gets a small amount of her own poop in her mouth? do infants have e.coli in their feces?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No problem: All people have E Coli in their feces but it is not a pathogen. An infant getting a small amount of her own stool in her mouth will suffer no consequences.
