Can a fly landing in your drink cause you to become ill??? or would your body deal with the fly's bacteria?

i need to know what would the effects of a fly landing in your drink be, if you drank it. would the fly bacteria cause you harm or can your stomach acid kill the bacteria from the fly?





there is an islamic saying that if a fly lands in your drink with 1 wing in and the other wing out of the water, you should dunk it all in because on 1 wing there is venom/microbes and on the other wing there is an antedote.





please answer it's ';bugging'; me, lol.Can a fly landing in your drink cause you to become ill??? or would your body deal with the fly's bacteria?
In 12 years of practice I have never heard or read case studies of infectious gastroenteritis caused by ingestion of a fly.





Highly improbable... but disgusting nonetheless.

The saying is definitely incorrect.





As for your stomach sure it is a rather hostile place for bacteria but plenty of bacteria can live in there.


Also the mouth and esophagus is before the stomach.





If you add ethanol too above 20% concentration you shouldn't have a problem with any bacteria in the drink.





Also bacteria are everywhere not just on flys and we generally don't get sick all the time because of it.
sounds like you're buggin! Um, well, for starters, flies and other insects carry numerous types of nastiness. Remember, when a human or animal decomposes, flies are the first thing to come and the first thing to leave after their larve has hatched off of the nutritious decomposing tissues. Flies also bite and fly everywhere and love poop. So, is there a chance, yes. I am not sure how the variable of the drink will play into the potency of the fly. but bacteria can survive in all types of conditions, and those that lie in the body need to be treated with antibiotics sometimes because we cannot fight off the infection alone.





get a new drink? oh, and they don't have long lives, but the question that remains is, '; where has this fly been?';
Unless the fly that landed in your drink was carrying a full sized turd and dropped it into your drink, nothing will happen to you. You have eaten/drank much much worse, trust me. Our bodies are equipped for these little things.
