HELP! How sick can a 1 year old get by eating...

Human Feces.  Yes... poop. Alot of poop.

DS was playing outside with the big boys while I was making lunch.  We have one of those "house" in the backyard and I could see him playing in it.  I called the boys in and I went out to get him and he was covered, from head to toe and allllllll over his hands and faces in what I *thought* was mud.  No biggie- he's a boy.

Until I got closer and SMELLED what the hell he was playing in and immediately I knew it belonged to my 5 yr. old SS, who's pooping issues I deal with constantly.  He admitted to putting poop inside the hose and sink of the house one day when he was playing...

DS got a good bath before lunch and nap but.. #1- Eww how effing gross, and #2- can he get sick from it??  Should I call pedi or just wait?

Ugh!! WWYD??

    Wow. Just. Wow.

    If it were me, I would call the pedi on a just-in-case basis. I don't think he could really get sick from it. (Unless SS has ecoli, and then you're in for some fun diaper changes.)

    You might as well call the Dr. It can't hurt.

    I'd call the doctor to see what they say.

    Oh my god.  Bless you.  I'd sell the child.  I think he's probably fine.  In my practice I had several clients who routinely smeared and ate their own feces.  But I might call and speak to advice nurse.  I don't know if old poop is worse than the fresh stuff...
