I hope you are talking about --your son of age 14 --on yesterday --having placed insecticide balls around home and took his dinner with out washing his hands ------hope the balls were bought as such and it was solid and not sticky -- and I hope-- he had no symptoms upto now ---- if so--- he may have negligible quantity of the item in his hand --and ingested --when he took food and so nothing to worry---still --if it was organophosphorous poison --some delayed symptoms are possible ---so better --take him to doctor for check-up soon -----ok.
