Can single inhalation of baby talc powder cause lung cancer?
I was at my friends’ place with my 3 years old kid. My kid found a talc baby powder and was shaking the bottle up and down and creating lots of dust close to his face when I saw him. I am not sure how much he inhaled of it, but he was coughing later for few hours. Next day he was fine. I never used baby powder or any other talc powder because I know that it has been linked to cancer and breathing problems. Should I worry about my kid?

He’ll be fine. It isn’t like he’s smoked for 30 years of his life or anything.
