or do swallow it and get FREE internal bleeding from the stings

I have doubts that an insect sting can be serious enough to cause internal bleeding. Some googling seems to confirm it; you might just suffocate if bitten in the larynx [Paparella 2007]:

or just have generic symptoms if bitten in the esophagus (this is a wasp sting, note, and I think in a patient allergic to them).

But wait! There's more! If you swallow just 12 nails right now, we'll throw in an organ rupture for ABSOLUTELY FREE! ✨

Swallowed a nail as a kid, got nothing but a trip to the ER and the embarrassment of an entire staff of people waiting for me to poop. I didn't know I needed a full dozen to win the prize!
