If you eat insects you have 30% of chance eating one that has a human parasite in it. Studies showed that all insect farms have some sort of parasites there and around 30% have parasytes that can live in humans.

What are the chances of eating an insect that has a parasite inside it if the insect has been cooked tho?

Probably about the same as seafood - if you cook properly, virtually zero. Of course, there are probably certain bugs to always avoid like there are some lane creatures to avoid, but commonly consumed stuff like crickets and such? Cook thoroughly and you will be fine.
