I think I ate a Fruit Fly Larvae.?
I was feeling snacky at my Mom's early so I grabbed this bag of Chocolate covered almonds and didn't think anything of it. I ate one but as I went to unwrap the 2nd piece I found there were white worms inside it. It wasn't a maggot cuz I know those are fat white worms. This worm was small thin white worm with a brown tip about the size of a long-grain rice. I'm hoping the piece I ate didn't have worms in it but now I'm starting to feel sick to my stomach. Are Fruit Fly larva which is what I believe those worms were harmful if eaten ??
@ bigwheel : OMG ! Are you serious ?? Is eating maybe just one harmful ?
Ok, now I totally regret eating that chocolate almond at least without inspecting it first.
The worm was white, thin, and had a brown spot on the tip. It looks like a grain of long-grain rice. I know it wasn't a maggot cuz maggots are fat and round like a pinto bean. I'm sure it was a fruit fly larvae cuz I looked it up online. This is what it looked like .... http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/agriculture/pests-weeds/...

well let's see we are all armchair doctors on yahoo don't think it was fruit fly eggs or worms.. but it would be wise 2 call the hospital and ask if whatever it was could be harmful.. if your mom still has the candy worms, take them 2 the hospital and have em checked..

you shouldn't worry that much about dying , because you probably won't :) . But i'd definitely seek some medical attention if i were in your place , because worms might develop in your intestines (i'm not trying to scare you or anything but its the truth ) overall not a serious thing but need sorting out

I would not worry too much. Most of the people who praise organic food have eaten a few larvae in the past. Consider it extra protein.

you would be basically nice. i be attentive to it is disgusting to think of approximately it. I unquestionably have had a similar subject ensue to me. To be honest. We in all probability eat greater bugs and all of that stuff than we actually comprehend. It basically that as quickly as we unquestionably see it and be attentive to it that we've the themes. that's all psychological or psychological. It grosses me out too, basically attempt to be greater careful. it particularly is all you're able to do.

they are dangerous. If you eat to many or you dont seek treatment immediately it can be extremely deadly.
Its probobly not that bad to eat just one or two, but it still might make you sick like vomitting
