I assume she knows everything in the area is not sprayed with any type of *acide.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Not really a thing in my area, excepting aquatic plants. Can’t speak to the whole world.
Unless by your area you mean a place that doesn't have plants in the first place because it's entirely paved over, I promise you that there are animals that will shit parasite eggs onto the grass, and children are particularly vulnerable because they both do dumb things like eat grass and have weaker immune systems.
Pinworms, for example, are basically everywhere, even if most parasites are tropical. They're so pervasive they're even noted for not following typical affluence infection rates.
First, pinworms only cause mild illness. My point was your child won’t die from eating random plants with a few exceptions that are easy to learn.
Second, pinworms are not spread by animals, only human to human. I don’t think eating plants is likely to be a vector.
Okay then, feed your kids all the grass they want.
Thank you! That's all I wanted to hear.
