Question
After handling meat paste, the mother merely washed her hands briefly and then fed her one-year-old daughter some oranges. After feeding her daughter, she noticed some of the uncleaned meat paste still lingered under her nails. I want to know if this could lead the daughter to ingest parasites, and whether it would harm her.
Answer
There should be no major issue if you wash your hands after handling meat paste and then feed your daughter, and you’ve noticed some uncleaned meat paste under her nails. As long as the meat paste is not consumed raw, there is no need to be overly concerned. This is unlikely to harm the baby. Please pay attention to your daughter’s dietary hygiene in the future to prevent any potential issues. These are my suggestions for preventing parasite infections, and I hope they are helpful to you. Wishing you health!
