Do you think i should worry about my son getting poppy seeds?

No: Poppy seeds contain extremely minute amounts of the opium alkaloids morphine and codeine, which give your bagel a nutty zing and can cause you to fail a drug test (as demonstrated in a famous mythbusters episode). Theoretically if you eat enough of them, you could get high. Unfortunately, it would take "tons" of the seeds to get any euphoria.
