Inhaled a fly - Will I be OK?

[subaqua]

If you start growing dark black hairs and find you can climb walls and are super strong.....make sure you use your powers for evil!

I was going to say you should be OK unless it had been too close to a mobile mast

That's nothing, we get the ones that have hatched near Hinkley Point

It won't have made it very close to your lungs. If it is lodged anywhere you will cough it up in tiny bits and it won't do any harm.

Unfortunately I know this from an experience at junior school where I inhaled (see .Snorted) a small triangle of card up my nose and lost it, a coughing fit followed but I could "feel" it was still there. I was sent to A&E and after disapproving looks and the above explanation from the Doctor, sympathy from my mum and lots of laughter from my dad. I was fine.

I had a strange scratchy feeling deep in my chest for a day or two. I have never inserted anything into any orifice ever since *proud*

Feel OK apart from a bit of mild discomfort between my shoulder blades and a feeling of having something stuck in my throat.

Yer big girls blouse. Just be careful if you feel lots of wriggling, then a million maggots burst out of your chest, 'Alien' style, then call NHS Direct !

The body is quite good at dealing with crap.

If you start mutating into this, then please stay away from me.

Don't be afraid.
No. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

My mate did the same thing yesterday on our ride, but he managed to cough and sputter enough to fetch it back up!! Having done it before myself, all you have to worry about is a very nasty taste. There were a number of insects bouncing off the helmet during our descents at 20mph and they don't half make a noise as they do!

Hope you made the most of those extra calories.

I have swallowed numerous flies in the past, and I know these will not cause any harm
However, to day I am pretty sure that I inhaled one. I had an immediate coughing fit that went on for 15 minutes or so. But I never saw the fly in anything I coughed up.
Could it get into my lungs / trachea? If so, will it cause any harm?

are you still alive if so you will be ok , because if not you would be dead
