GI illness?: I’d presume in this context that your main risk would be for a gastrointestinal illness, like a gastroenteritis with nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and stomach cramps, from whatever may have been on the dust pan from previous clean-ups. This would occur and complete within a 3-5 day window. If anything else occurs, should see doctor locally for evaluation.
