A member asked:
My three year old put her mouth on a beer can that belonged to a 27 year, who likes to party (my brother in law) what are the chances she will catch meningitis from this if he recently drank from it seconds or minutes prior?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Zero unless he has meningitis. Toddlers are estimated to face 100 germ exposures/day from their random finger-to-mouth or mouthing activities. I would not over think this. If the kid acts sick any day handle it as you always do.
