My mantis was recently sick and as a result, she has her face covered in vomit. Since she is crippled and unable to clean herself, is there someway to clean it off without harming her? I have cleaned it partially with a wet tissue, but it is hard to get near her eyes and antennae, and I'm not sure if it might damage her eyes if I rub too hard.

Or if the vomit shouldn't cause any health issues, should I just leave it instead and hope that it comes off over time?

 
You could put a few drops of water on her face and top of her head, then wipe it off after afew minutes. Just dip your finger in water and touch her with them.
