Have you ever experienced swallowing an insect accidentally and felt helpless

I think I may have swallowed a couple of them over the years. I think they got in my soft drink can or cup. I felt so sick to my stomach and started gagging LOL.

Hahaha... Once I did swallow a mosquito. The poor guy, kept hovering around me with that annoying buzzzzzzz and I was trying to shoo him off. But he would not for his fate was obviously tied with me. And I gulped it unknowingly. Poor chap, couldn't fight back inspite of my earnest assistance. My homage to him.

I seem to remember inhaling a house fly once, but there was no helpless feeling. What was I going to do, and what was there to worry about? I am not the type of pperson who will cry over what can not be changed. It didn't kill me, so I didn't worry about it.

LOL I so wish I hadn't been swallowing a bit of my sandwich whilst reading your post haha! It made me feel rather ill, not your fault of course! I don't recall ever having swallowed a bug but statistics show that we all have swallowed a few in our lifetimes. If I knowingly swallowed a bug the first thing I would do is make myself throw it up again - sorry I know that sounds really gross but the thought of a bug down my throat and then inside my body is unacceptable to me as I really freaked out by bugs in general never mind eating one with my breakfast, lunch or dinner :)

Well, a few years ago... when i was still teaching... a fly accidentally flew inside my mouth... and i had to immediately spit it out before i swallow... good thing i was able to... then i ran to the bath room and rinsed my mouth... that was one yucky experience that i never want to happen again...

Ugh yes bala I had had a drink then I called my grandson over to me as I did a fly flew in my mouth and I glped before I knew it it was gone...boy did it make me feel horrible knowing that had happened...littleowl

One insect ? Actually it was a whole lot of these small little fellows on a mango tree. It was followed by a bout of spitting out, coughing out and that feeling of yuck . Off the tree in a jiffy and then the rinsing, gargling. The thought of that still gets that twisted look on my face.

Mmm bon apetite NOT! Yes I have swallowed a few flies in my time, not those big horrible bluebottles or big flies, those small flies that buzz around you, I tried to spit it out but it was too late and down the hatch it went, yum, yum ewww! The thought is horrible itself without the action. Best to keep your mouth closed and when there's mosquitoes flying about at night you have to sleep with your mouth closed or else!

No, I haven't had that experience ,but that must be a terrible sensation. Well, I'll make sure that my mouse is close from now on. Ha Ha!

I don't think that I have swallowed down any insect accidentally. It seems that each time I can happen to find it. I feel that I am lucky. I will empty the whole food if I find a bug, as it spoils my taste. Take care, balasri.

Oh, yea. It's disgusting! I'm glad it hasn't happened to me in a while. Usually it's because of serious laughing when camping.

Heck yeah...what a disgusting experience to endure. It's never really made me feel helpless however. I suppose if you swallowed something large enough and it was still alive somehow that might be unsettling, but the acids in your stomach would put a quick end to pretty much anything that might get down in there. Just the same, it's a pretty nasty thing to endure and not something that I think anyone would really enjoy.

It has never happened to me till now..But my brother once swallowed a a mosquito while yawning and it was sight to watch!He kept gurgling for a long time to no use and finally accepted defeat! Have a nice day!
