A member asked:
Will i die if i swallowed a bug that was squirmy &floating in my cup but i threw my stomach contact back up have i thrown it up whatever it was?

Unlikely: If swallowing bugs was a fatal event half of toddlers would not survive. Your stomach acid neutralizes any toxic components & processes bugs like any other food source. Some cultures actually consume bugs as part of their diet. Relax.
