When I eat a fig am I also eating dead wasps?

There have been a lot of articles written about the fig wasp lately and how these minute creatures climb inside the fig to lay their eggs. I used to love figs but now I can't eat them without thinking that I am eating a bunch of dead miniature wasps. Can anyone tell me if the wasps do in fact die inside the fruit that we eventually eat? Gross!

Fig wasps are apparently in some wild figs varieties but the figs you buy at the market are wasp-less. The wasps usually pollinate the figs but the market figs aren't pollinated. So unless you're eating figs that are growing wild there should be no wasps.
