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.
