Question: My daughter and I were eating Hershey kisses and noticed that one had a little white worm in it. We both have made ourselves puke a few times. The worm was white and about little less then half an inch long

Brief Answer:
Larva of some fly, nothing to worry.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Ms XXXX,

I understand your concern.

Relax, larvae are not poisonous and do not cause any harm even if consumed.

It is unlikely that you consumed the worm, if you had, then you would have noticed a change in the taste of the chocolate.

Do not worry, nothing will happen.

Hope this answers your query, please feel free to write back to me if you need any more clarifications.

Best regards
