My infant son accidentally breathed some ant powder, does he need to be checked by a doctor?

I put ant powder around the yard this morning, because we have these obnoxious little ants coming into the house. When I took my son outside in his stroller, a huge gust of wind blew up and basically showered us with the powder. I immediately washed his and my hands and face, but I'm still worried about him breathing that stuff. Does he need a doctor check?My infant son accidentally breathed some ant powder, does he need to be checked by a doctor?
I pray you've already been to ER by the time you read this. You're talking about POISON here so, what are you waiting for???? What do you place as an important emergency in your life if not your baby with poison involvement???. I hope you took the label and got to ER right after you wrote the queston. One question ';why would you not have????? Oh dear me I will pray for him and you

Well, we live and learn but where your baby is concerned if you are going to error, do it on the side of caution. GREAT and thanks

dont take advice from people that say things like 'ps' and 'duh'. just check the label and if you are worried call poison control. im sure he didn't breathe much in, if any at all. when i had a question about thrush one time on here were like 'get off your butt and rush her to the er. and thrush is so common and definitely non-life threatening. a lot of people (the way they answer they seem to be in their teens) act like everything is a life threatening sickness or accident. taking your baby to the er when they dont need to go could get them way more sick than they were in the first place.if poison control tells you to, then do it.
when i hear a promblem w/someone elses child i think of my own.... its better to be safe than sorry god forbid something happens, and you think just because poison control says so that makes it all okay your just telling details!!! dr.s can due a series of tests to make sure....oh and ps ps ps ps my friends baby drank perfume just a little though and poison control said drink a whole cup of milk then water and have her try to throw up shell be a -okay turns out she got so sick w/stomach pains she was in the hospital for almost 2months.ps go to th er anyways AGAIN thats your baby;;;
u serious u waited this long to ask get to the ER asap even so it could be nothing but dont you want to make sure god i dont know how u could have waited this long thats your baby ps think about what ant powder does to ants duhhhh
Take the child to the ER, even if it is not poisonous, powder inhalation can cause serious respiratory problems. Research baby powder syndrome
Check the bottle %26amp; see what the warnings are, otherwise call the poisons information line %26amp; ask their opinion.
Check the package/bag the powder came in. It should have product warnings.
poison control 1 800 222 1222, read them the ingredients on the bag

i would be ringing the poison center if you have one it dosnt take much to hurt a wee one
