Moths can make you sick....

Hi everyone!

A few nights ago when I was tending to my blacklight, I inhaled 
(accedentally, of course) a very small moth, which I coughed up maybe 30 
seconds later. Within what I would say was five hours, I began to get sick. 
The next day (Wednesday) I woke up with a severe sore throat and a stuffy 
nose, which only worsened, and yesterday I was very sick. Has anyone else 
ever gotten sick from a moth? I imagine there was a virus or something on the 
moth that made me sick, not the moth itself. Let me know if live moths have 
made you sick...
