Have you ever swallowed a fly or bug?

Yesterday we were outside for the Fourth of July celebrations and I accidentally swallowed a gnat. If you've never seen a gnat before you're not missing anything. It's a tiny mosquito like bug that doesn't bite. But it's sure annoying! What about you? Have you ever swallowed a gnat or fly? Did you do it on purpose? Or was it accidental?

Perhaps that is why they call them bug brain! Not much up there to keep them from acting silly. Very nice answer! Very witty!

I have accidentally swallowed a gnat before. I don't like the sensation. So I wouldn't do it on purpose. I couldn't swallow a live gold fish either. My fish have to be cooked. Give me good old fashioned food, not bugs. Yuk!

Yes, ordinarily I would agree! Actually, everyday I would agree. I hate bug swallowing too. Raw food or insects are not for me. Not on any day! Not on purpose, anyway.

I have never swallowed a gnat or fly before. If I did, even if I didn't feel something wrong mith my health, but be sure I would feel so sick to it.

Either a fly or a bug I haven't yet but a mosquito yes. I'm afraid I could get a malaria or any related disease coming from mosquitos.
