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

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!

Just get an MRI then to be on the safe side.

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).
