A member asked:
My 11 month old found a used band aid from unknown person and was chewing on it. there did not appear to be any blood on it. should i bring her in for any testing?

Your choice: I doubt the exposure worthy of specific testing.It is nice there was no blood. This is one of many such exposures toddlers have every day.They touch the floor or objects & then suck their fingers. Studies suggest they are exposed to nore than100 separate germs/d that way. If the kid develops symptoms go in or bring it up at the next well visit.
