If a moth laid eggs on your toothbrush, then you brushed your teeth and the moth eggs went inside you, what would happen?

Your stomach acids would kill and digest the moth eggs. Only a very few things can survive the digestive system - tomato seeds being one example, because they have such a hard outer coating. The other examples are specialized digestive parasites, such as intestinal worms, which are adapted to live there. A moth egg, not being adapted to parasitize humans, wouldn't have a chance.

Nothing at all. The acids in your stomach would digest them very quickly. In fact, you would probably vomit if you knew just how many insect eggs and eggs of other creatures you do, in fact, ingest, on a daily basis.
