          It's okay. You're probably already full from all the insect eggs, rat hairs, fungus, feces, insect parts, and maggots that are in the food that you already eat/drink. For instance, bugs like your coffee as much as you do...you ingest about 150,000 of them in your cups of coffee over the course of one year. Posted 4 years ago
