Hey! Don't spread distortions, rumours, untruths, misinformation and silliness (DRUMS)! Anyone who has a packet of flour or a sack of rice with worms in it had better throw the whole damn lot away to be safe! Rice weavels excepted -- they taste great.
They are perfectly safe to eat, i didn't ask you to like them...here:
Human consumption
Main article: Entomophagy
Mealworms are edible for humans. Baked or fried mealworms are marketed as a healthful snack food. They may be easily reared on fresh oats, wheat bran or grain, with sliced potato, carrots, or apple as a moisture source.
Mealworms have been incorporated into tequila-flavored novelty candies. Mealworms are not traditionally served in tequila, and the "tequila worm" in certain mezcals is usually the larva of the moth Hypopta agavis.
