Found Bugs in my Raisin Bran, what?

I did some internet searching and found that they were red flour beetles, which are common infestation in cereals and flour stuff that sits for too long. So I opened the box, saw some cereal, but didn't know if it was any good, so I put my hand in the box, and grabbed a piece and ate it. It was good. The I poured some out in to a bowl, and saw about a dozen little beetles crawling all over. Now I'm wondering if I had eaten one and didn't notice it on the flake before I put it in my mouth. If I did eat one, or egg(s) of one, what could happen? Am I at risk of parasites or disease or what?
