    I have doubts that an insect sting can be serious enough to cause internal bleeding. Some googling seems to confirm it; you might just suffocate if bitten in the larynx [Paparella 2007]:

    or just have generic symptoms if bitten in the esophagus (this is a wasp sting, note, and I think in a patient allergic to them).
