Reply to comment by ChemicalRain5513 in Do insects have "meat" like other animals? I know that grubs, mealworms, etc. are eaten in some parts of the world, but if, for instance, beetles were the size of cows, could you butcher one and make beetle steak? by 9RFCat9
It lives in a very specific part of your intestines where other microbiota keep its growth in check and under control. Other places, like the small intestine, don't have that protection. If your large intestine gets perforated and the bacteria can escape directly into your bloodstream, you can develop sepsis and die pretty quickly.
