Awful incident happened with me
I had a very unpleasant😖 experience while eating a sweet. I found a bug in it after I had eaten half of it. I am very worried that I might have ingested some fly eggs or larvae and that I might have intestinal myiasis. I have heard that this is a rare but serious condition that can cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. I am very scared and I need your help.
Please advise me on what I should do next.

If your stomach has an average amount of acid then all these eggs and larvae will be killed by that acid. So you will be safe.
There are some races who actually eat some fish species or even earthworms alive.

Hi. I'm sure as traumatic this experience would be, the chances of myiasis for you are almost nil. You may experience some abdominal symptoms due to food contamination, but they won't be any severe.
Would be happy to resolve any doubts/queries

Patient's detailed medical history is required. It is recommended to consult a doctor professional through the Practo app or visit a local medical facility for a thorough evaluation.
Please keep in mind that detailed medical history is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment.
