What would you do if you found a gnat in your dish soap?

So, I'm washing my daughter's bottles and notice a little floater at the bottom of my soap... Upon further investigation, I see that it is these little flies we used to get when it was warmer. So I guess my question is; Do you toss it out or just not stress over it because the soap is antibacterial anyway? It grosses me out to no end, and it's not like it was a big bottle! We keep refilling this little, trial-sized bottle of dish soap for my daughter's bottles. My boyfriend, on the other hand, is generally my voice of reason because I can get a little... well, "over the top," I guess! What do you think?

Even with the cost of cleaning supplies these days, I would still throw it out. It probably won't harm her or make her sick, but with our children, we can never be too careful. It is great that you just refill the small bottle, not much waste there.

That's what I'm saying! Even though we'll just be washing her bottles with hot water, it still grosses me out!! Thanks for the response!

I would just fish the little devil out and keep using the soap, all of it's germs where killed by the soap and you'll be using hot water to rinse the bottles anyway if they where glass bottles you could boil them for a bit to get them really really clean. I miss glass baby bottles they held up better than plastic and I could boil them to make sure they where clean and no soap residue.
