A member asked:
I breath through my mouth and inhalled a flying insect. i felt it stuck on my throat for some minutes, coughed, but it didn't get out.is it dangerous?

Probably ok: You ate a bug or breathed it in. You will probably be ok. We were just in Ireland in July, didn't see any bugs. It is unlikely that it got past your vocal cords. So you either ate it or coughed it out. The acid in your stomach will kill any insect. Hope this helps, lovely country.
