Is Ingesting Dryfruit Having No Worms From A Now Infected Pack Dangerous?

Over a month ago I had nuts on ice cream. I stored them in original container in pantry. Yesterday I went to use them and there was alot of white worms with brownish heads in container. It made me sick to see them. If prviously ingested when no worms were present would this cause a health issue.

Hi,
welcome to healthcare Magic,

Dont worry, nothing will happen. Even if you eat ice cream containing worms accidentally.
As soon as they reach your stomach,your powerful acidic medium (stomach secretes Hcl) will destroy them and they will be digested same as proteins.
