Question

I'm really worried because I just realized that I've been drinking water from a dark bottle for the past couple of days, and it turns out there are these tiny red worms in it. I'm six months pregnant, and now I'm freaking out a bit. Are these worms harmful or dangerous for me and my baby?

No need to worry, all the red worms will be killed & digested with the acid present in your stomach. It is a protein rich diet
