Hi, thanks for writing.. I un dersatnd your concern.
Taking worm infested food is not advisable.. It can cause severe diarrhoea and vomiting within 24 hrs. If you have crossed 24 hrs without any problem then dont worry.. It is unlikely to affect your pregnancy. Always eat healthy clean food as this is the nutrition your child receives. Hope I have answered your query. Good day.
