I Bought Chocolates And It Contained White Worms That Was Crawling. Are They Harmful?
I brought a closed box of wrapped chocolates to pass around for the Christmas Holiday. People started screaming because you could see white worms crawling in and around each piece of chocloate as they were opened. Are these worms harmful? Some people ate them without looking. Can they get sick? I am so embarrassed!
Thanks for contacting HCM. These worms most likely appears to be maggots as per you description. They may cause food poisoning or disease like typhoid,but likelihood of that happening is less. So if you are not sick then just forget the whole episode as a bad dream. Regards
