Hi thanks for posting your query on health care magic.

Insect poisoning is known to cause Organophosphorous poisoning.

Symptoms resemble ,vomiting dry eyes,nausea,pain abdomen,constipation.

You need to contact your doctor as early as possible in case if above symptoms manifest,since insect poisons are known to cause delayed cardiovascular side effects,which could be problematic.

Treatment includes Gastric lavage and Atropinisation in cases of accidental ingestion/poisoning.

Consult your emergency room specialist for further assistance.

Thank you,
Take care.
