Watch for infection: Your son only touched the bird dried poop and put the finger in his nose, you clean his finger and nose with antiseptic solution or wash with soap. Keep his finger and nose clean, dry .Watch if he gets cough cold or running nose (any viral infection) then see your doctor.Only touching dried bird poop briefly then chances of getting any infection are much less .
