Accidental eating of a small piece of dog poo

This is a serious problem, that is causing me considerable worry.

At the weekend I accidentally ate a small piece of dog faeces/poo/shit, which was splashed on to an ice-cream I was eating – this was at a poop scooper on Bournemouth beach.

It was barely noticeable, and did not taste. It was really stupid to carry on eating after this had happened. I was slightly drunk, and despite noticing a little bit of it on the ice-cream, I for some reason, just thought - it is only a tiny bit, and just kept eating.

I have not yet experienced any problems.

Should I go to my doctor?

Do I need injections?

Thank you.

    I'd definitely go and see the doctor mate. Just to get checked out.

    How the hell did you manage to get dogshit on your 99 flake?

    I would seek advice from a doctor, you will probably be ok but dogs have worms which can make children go blind if it is digested. That is why it is important dog owners clear up after their pets.

    First mistake was eating it. There's no such thing as "it's only a tiny bit" when it comes to dog poo on food. If it's there, you shouldn't be eating it, regardless of the quantity.

    Second mistake - never get drunk if ice-cream or dogs are in the vicinity. Otherwise your first mistake might be your third. :D

    You won't need injections, but steer clear of women into S&M for a while. If you see the dog lead & collar, you might be tempted to try wagging your tail & barking at her feet - that would totally give the game away, & no-one (including your OH) is likely to believe "It only happened 'cos I ate a tiny bit of dog poo on my ice-cream, I swear". :D

    I just read the title of this thread and burst out laughing in an office full of people. I am sure you will come to no harm. Just don't make a habit of it.

    When my youngest son deliberately ate a piece of freshly laid doggy poop I was straight onto NHS Direct. This was back when it wasn't a complete and utter waste of time calling them. Within half an hour they had phoned back and said that as long as the poo was fresh, no problems worm wise.

    Really? I know when my cats were babies and they were worm infested I could actually see squirming tapeworm segments come out when they used the litter tray. Still makes me shudder thinking about it :eek:

    Eeeuuuwww:eek:

    The lady at NHS Direct did explain something about the worm life cycle - not sure if I remember this right (this was 4 years ago) but, it is the eggs that are dangerous and these need to mature in dog poop to be dangerous.

    I will add that the dog was (and is ) regularly wormed.

    Its vile isn't it??!! I'd have though fresh poo was more wormy than old poo when they'd had a chance to die...

    Im sure most of us with animals must of eaten poo at some point. If its on the dogs coat, we stoke them ... and then eat something - all sorts could get transferred to our mouths.

    It helps not to think about it though :eek:

    First port of call is get some mint mouth wash
    incase your breat stinks.

    Then go and get checked out at a A&E
    if your worried.

    Are you supposed to go to A&E because you ate a chunk of dog poo? They would laugh at you and send you to your GP.

    No it's really serious if you don't get it treated within the first six hours.
    You enter first a latent stage when you have no symptoms.
    That can last for six months, after that it's a lifetime of walking into lamp posts.

    On the upside your tastebuds also go so if you eat any more dog poo you won't see or taste it.

    Oh i feel sick! Never again will i look at a 99 flake again!

    You will fine, go to the docs to be sure. I have loads of animals and as mentioned previously we all must have digested something awful at some point. The body has way of dealing with small amounts of contamination. If it was that bad you would have started being sick within 30 - 45 mins. As long as you have a cold wet nose and a glossy coat you will be fine.
