Even though the dose ingested is minimal and should not cause any harm at all, I would recommend a quick check up to give symptomatic treatment/general treatment in case of this intoxication (especially to reduce absorption). Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further. Please find the time to give us a feedback about the consultation as that will be used to improve our service.
