Worms in figs
I was picking some figs off the tree and some of them had worms in them. What will happen if I eat figs that have worms in them? Well, I know I should eat only figs that do not have worms, but even so, you can't be sure that they are completely worm-free as the fig tree in my backyard is not sprayed with pesticides. Will the worms make me sick? How do worms compare with salmonella and parasites?
What is the color and size of those worms?
There are white grubs from the black beetle and from the Mediterranean fruit fly
(grubs from the latter are somewhat carrot-shaped),
and there are worms in a big silk web.
Fruit worms are generally just worms; not parasites for us,
but just for the fruit.
For us, they generally are just 'animal food'.

Your chances to win the lottery are much bigger than such a risk.Kookaburra wrote:As everyone knows, flies contain a lot of germs and bacteria. If I accidentally ate a fly that was in my orange juice, won't it cause me to feel sick?
The amount of bacteria on one fly is incredibly small, and easily overcome by your defense.
Lots of dogs make it a sport to catch and eat all kind of flies,
without getting sick.
Because people think its nasty.If a fly is indeed 'ripped in pieces', why do people still complain to the manager and ask for a new bowl of soup whenever they see a fly in it?
There are also people who just pick out the fly and continue eating.

What about the abdomens of the flies? They eat all kind of food in the garbage pile. When they are 'ripped in pieces', won't whatever is in their abdomens be digested by us too? So, if a fly has been munching on leftover pizzas in the bin, won't we be eating cooked food indirectly?RRM wrote:Your chances to win the lottery are much bigger than such a risk.Kookaburra wrote:As everyone knows, flies contain a lot of germs and bacteria.

Furthermore, what about flies who have been munching on feces? We are indirectly eating them.
Flies spread many diseases by touching surfaces with their legs or their saliva. So when a fly drop into my orange juice, won't I get infected?
Are you sure that the amount of bacteria on a fly is low? I read that flies may carry up to as many as 6 million bacterias on their feet. Is 6 million low?
How much undigested pizza can there be in the stomach of one fly??Kookaburra wrote:won't whatever is in their abdomens be digested by us too? So, if a fly has been munching on leftover pizzas in the bin, won't we be eating cooked food indirectly?
You are making too much of these flies.Furthermore, what about flies who have been munching on feces? We are indirectly eating them.
Residues of feces are everywhere.
Many people dont even wash their hands after going to the bathroom.
You shake there hands, or even kiss them.
You touch the handles they have touched.
Bacteria and residues are everywhere.
Flies are just a tiny part in this.
Pick it out and you will be perfectly fine.So when a fly drop into my orange juice, won't I get infected?
On a microscopic level, the numbers are staggering.Are you sure that the amount of bacteria on a fly is low?
On our level, its nothing.
Whats on your fingers on a daily basis is much, much more.

What about mosquitoes? Safe to eat?
Re: Worms in figs
They are not food for us; they are too small to be considered food.
Besides that, its all 'package' and no meat.
