Rule #57: You may not eat the candy that you find on the ground at the park. And when Mommy says, “SPIT IT OUT!” you are expected to obey & not just chew faster.
Our family doc, who has actually taken the time to get to know our kids, probably wouldn’t bat an eye. She would know it’s not just a theoretical question.
I vote worse… Whatever illness they might get from candy, I think beats the possiblity of brain worms from dirt…. I saw it on mystery diagnosis… btw, not the best show to watch when you have kids…
I am the Meanest Mommy in the Whole Wide World. I am forced to make rules & observations that I never knew would be necessary before I became a parent.

Excellent question. I dare you to call your family doc & ask. 😉
