How bad can it be?

When Zyla crawls around, sometimes she’ll find part of a cracker or a morsel of breakfast/lunch/dinner she threw on the ground. She knows the difference between a food item and, let’s say, a pine needle.
This morning she found a coffee bean under the table and handed it to me. She’s good like that. I’m sure some of you may be thinking, “Clean your floor, lady!” We do, but — like life — you can’t get it all.
Anyway, once in a while, she’ll find some and get it in her mouth before I can get to her. Believe me, there have been times when I’ve almost lost the top part of my index finger trying to get something out of her mouth that shouldn’t be in there. Anyone ever get their finger bitten by a baby? Now that’s pain.
I get so upset when I can’t rescue that fallen crumb and then more upset for fretting about it in the first place. But it can’t be that bad … can it?

Thats which does not kill makes one stronger. They find a way of finding everything..
I think your headline says it all. How bad can it be? When I caught my 18 month old attempting to eat the sand from a public park playground, obviously you can’t clean it all out of his mouth – so, I rationalized that he was building up immunities. (see Steve’s comment above) Basically dirt may be dirty, but that doesn’t necessarily mean germy or bad for you.
