A member asked:
My brother swallowed an insect and his affairs that it could lay eggs or live inside cannot calm him down ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not possible: Due to the very harsh/acidic conditions of any human's being stomach and digestive system, an insect would not be able to live in there. Tell him that his stomach is much stronger than a little insect. Maybe his favorite piece of candy will help to calm him down as well! Best wishes.
