What happens if you eat fly eggs?

If you eat fly eggs, the eggs will most likely pass through your digestive system without causing any harm. However, there is a small chance that the eggs could hatch into maggots inside your intestines. This is more likely to happen if you eat a large number of fly eggs.

Maggots can cause a variety of symptoms, including abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. In some cases, maggots can also cause more serious health problems, such as intestinal perforation and sepsis.

If you think you may have eaten fly eggs, it is important to see a doctor right away. The doctor can diagnose fly egg infestation and recommend treatment. Treatment may include medication to kill the maggots and supportive care to manage the symptoms.

Here are some tips to help you avoid eating fly eggs:

* Wash your fruits and vegetables thoroughly before eating them.

* Cook your meat and fish thoroughly.

* Keep your kitchen clean and free of flies.

* Use fly traps or repellents to keep flies away from your food.
