Playing in sand

2021-06-10 08:39:05
Hi Doctors, My son who is 17 months old wants to play in sand and soil a lot these days. Before the pandemic it was not even a question of allowing kids to play in soil. But now is it safe to allow him play in sand(indoors only). Will it cause any bacterial infection?
