A member asked:

If a child gets a sewing needle in there foot and that sewing needle enters the blood stream can that sewing needle travel through the blood steam and cause death or serious injury to that child?

It is not going to travel as you envision. It will stay where it enters/imbeds in the foot until it is removed.

The sewing needle may cause a Staph or other bacterial infection. Update all immunizations, keep the area clean and dry. Watch for signs of pus,redness or swelling. Please follow up. A virtual consultation with Healthtap is available.
