The Prophet(PBUH) said "If a house fly falls in the drink of anyone of you, he should dip it (in the drink), for one of its wings has a disease and the other has the cure for the disease." [related by Bukhari - Volume 4, Book 54, Number 537]This Hadeeth, which is related by Al-Bukhari on the authority of Abu Hurairah, may Allaah be pleased with him, is authentic, and Abu Dawud recorded it with the addition: "Indeed what is in its wings contains the antidote." And modern medicine attests to its meaning.Some people may not feel up to drinking the contents after dipping the fly into the glass, and if they do not feel like drinking, they should not be forced, because a person is not ordered to eat or drink that which disgusts him.
In an authentic hadeeth, the Prophet (PBUH) permitted others to eat a lizard, but he didn't eat it himself: he said,"Indeed it is not from the land of my people, so I have a dislike for it." (Al-Bukhari no. 5537 and Muslim no. 1946)
