I suppose so..

I've known this fact for years and I still eat 3 bars of chocolate a day.

I also hear a lot that each person eats a few spiders in their lifetimes from the spiders crawling into their mouths when they're sleeping. The number probably varies on where you live though. Still pretty creepy.
