What happened if you swallow pests in your food.

FOOD PESTS IN THE KITCHEN

It's not the first time, nor will it be the last, that the dreaded crawly things appeared in the food. At first it was a chance occurrence; then they appeared again. It is a problem. kitchen pests, specifically grain weevils. Adults cringe when they find insects in their food; kids say "gross", "cool" or "may I eat one?" In truth, eating them will not harm you. Eating insects is trendy and common in some parts of the world. They provide protein and crunch. However, like most people, I do not want them in my food or pantry!

Pantry pests are not uncommon. These insects lay their eggs on/in grains and given the right time and conditions they hatch, eat the food and grow, become adults, mate and lay more eggs. Some of the adults fly and some of the larvae spin cocoons to pupate. They get into food anywhere along the food chain – during growth, harvest, or storage in the warehouse, store or your home. Many hide in packaging, chew through plastic bags and wrapping, and seek cover in the crevasses of shelves and walls. Start with a few and soon everything is infested. Removing infected food, packaging and cleaning is essential to eradication.Did a bug ever fly in your mouth? Usually, the story ends there. You spit it out. Goodbye, bug. But sometimes — gulp! — you might swallow it so it ends up in your stomach. Less often, someone might inhale a bug into the lungs.

You have probably heard that old children’s song “I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly.” Most people don’t swallow flies. But we know of someone who’s sure she swallowed a tiny gnat. Another boy had a close call when a yellowjacket flew out of his can of soda and into his mouth while he was taking a sip. (He spit it out before getting stung.) And would you believe that someone said she inhaled a lightning bug and could feel it in her lungs?

There are two paths a swallowed bug might take:

down the esophagus (food tube) into the stomach

down the trachea (windpipe) into the lungs

If the bug ends up in your stomach, it will get mashed up and digested just like any other food. And whatever’s left of it will “come out the other end” when you go to the bathroom. It’s gross, but unlikely to cause you any more trouble.

If you feel like you inhaled the bug and you think it could be in your lungs, tell a parent or another adult. Usually this will make you cough and feel a little uncomfortable. Your mom or dad will want to check with your doctor. Unlike your stomach, your lungs won’t digest the bug.

In the lungs, the bug will get trapped in a layer of slimy mucus. Maybe you’re thinking “Gross, there’s slime in my lungs!” But it’s good to know the mucus is there for a reason. It protects the lungs and airways from situations just like this one. The mucus helps the lungs stay clear so that any one can breathe properly. In other words, no bugs allowed!

Oh it’s in your mouth? For the most part, the story closes there. You let it out. Farewell, bug. However, now and then — swallow! — you may gobble it so it winds up in your stomach. Less regularly, somebody may breathe in a bug into the lungs. 

Have you heard that old youngsters' melody "I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly." Most individuals don't swallow flies. Be that as it may, we are aware of somebody who's certain she gulped a minuscule gnat. Another kid had a narrow escape when a yellowjacket flew out of his jar of pop and into his mouth while he was taking a taste. (He let it out before getting stung.) And would you accept that somebody said she breathed in a lightning bug and could feel it in her lungs? 

There are two ways a gulped bug may take: 

down the throat (food tube)Oesophagus into the stomach 

down the (windpipe) trachea into the lungs 

In the event that the bug winds up in your stomach, it will get squashed up and processed simply like some other food. What's more, anything that's left of it will "come out the opposite end" when you go to the washroom. It's gross, yet far-fetched to raise you any more ruckus. 

On the off chance that you sense that you breathed in the bug and you figure it could be in your lungs, tell a parent or another grown-up. Typically this will cause and to feel somewhat awkward. Your mother or father will need to check with your primary care physician. In contrast to your stomach, your lungs won't digest the bug.
