Re: found worms in food, need help
thanks for your responses
i do not feel totally revulsed, though i'm having trouble doing anything but researching about what they could be and how to cure the possibilities. i do feel worried until i hear a definitive answer about how to deal with it in case it's a problem, i don't want a 2 meter tapeworm growing inside me and baby in a period of 2 weeks! yikes!
they look so smooth to be maggots, they are more like worms or egg sacs
they do not appear to be either beetle or moth larvae, and the beans looked fine, no signs of insects, webs, powder at bottom of clear bag. None of these items were stored for long in my possession, just purchased from the store, so I cannot say how old they were prior to making the food.
i tried to dye the worms with beetroot juice, but their features wouldn't take the color, i'm not sure they have any features, and the photos are not showing the "mouth" end much clearer... if that's even a mouth. it's starting to look like a blunt end where something was broken off.
here's a pic of some maggots off the web (not necessarily off beef)
unless maybe they are like the maggots on the left in this next picture, minus their heads
in this photo, there are some rice like things above the maggots below.. could those be maggot eggs?
