What happens if I swallowed a fly?
Don’t worry, you’re not going to turn into a fly! If you swallowed it then it’s probably ended up in your stomach. It will get digested along with anything else you’ve eaten (hopefully tasty food rather than more flies!) and then whatever’s left will come out the other end when you visit the toilet.
