We have a sandbox. It’s not covered. We have a small dog that has pooped in there before. I let my toddler play in it today. There was some small poops that he dug up but quickly threw. He went to go eat raspberries from our bush. His hands were sandy so I brushed the raspberry off. (I forgot he had touched poop!) If he had touched cat poop, I just touched it and may have touched my lips. Our neighbor has a cat that occasionally comes in our backyard but it is mostly indoor. Never seen it or noticed it pooping in the sandbox. I’m trying to stay off google. But it’s so hard!
