It's probably a good idea to wash your hands, but I wonder how important it is in the grand scheme of things. Presumably you are worried about picking up some infection/ parasite/ whatever from the worm. People are really quite different from worms- any parasite which has evolved to thrive in a worm will probably not be well adapted to survive in you. I suspect people are more likely to pick up parasites from other mammals- do you wash your hands after stroking dogs and cats? and more likely still to get them from other humans- a good excuse to give up on public transport.

THANK YOU BC.

I appreciate your wisdom here.

I do in fact wash my hands after stroking dogs and cats.......and I do my level best to NOT touch the stupid handle on the inside of public toilets to get out....cos half the filthy miscreants don't wash their hands at all !....sorry....didn't mean to digress but I just hate it when I have washed and dried my hands that I then have to touch a filthy disgusting door handle !.......i usually use my sleeve or pull it from the ultra bottom of the handle !

BTW Neily The rule of thumb in a preschool or any institution or home and you should try is too:

Alright tidy up your backside with toilet paper and boudai(sorry spelling) with one hand ..LOL use the opposite to flush, use it again to turn on the water. Then wash both hands thoroughly, leaving the water running, get your paper towel dry hands, unless it id air dry then turn the water off. Paper towel your hands dry and use your paper towel to turn off the water and to open the door..cans are usually placed by door. Throw away towel and walk out not soiling your hands or clothing again!

I have actually eaten fried worms - that is not as bad as some might think.

I didn't die and rather enjoyed them.

(I know, I am a very sick human being. No need to remind me. Sadly, I am probably more painfully aware of my shortcomings than anyone else.  [V])

I think I am in the same department! Do you mean regular earth worms fried??
with sauce or without Jimbob! Did you bread them?

What were the circumstances behind eating the worms? Curiosity, necessity, a dare or just a learning experience?
