No. It would have no way to leak into your blood. What kind of sickness are you experiencing? Could it be from being pregnant?

I was asking for my daughter,,Sadly her baby passed away July21st at 21 and half weeks gestation..We have however talked to a Doctor recently and found out that the baby having an open neural tube defect could have caused her to be as sick as she was..The babys spinal fluid was indeed passing into the amniotic fluid and than into my daughters blood stream....The baby had turners syndrome,cystic hygroma,hydrops,heart defects,,a brain defect called Agenesis corpus calloumus and she also had spina bifida(the open neural tube defect).

I'm really glad her doctor gave you the information you needed! It is always best to ask a medical professional than to rely on message boards for important medical information.
