Question about bloodworms

Hey so I did the dumb thing of leaving my package of previously frozen bloodworms out overnight. They were still in the original un-open package and I was wondering if they were still okay to use? Or should I just get new ones? Thanks!

Get new ones. Bloodworms are not to be refrozen.

OMG, the smell of bloodworms that have been left out a day could gag a maggot. :yuck: Trust me.

I think bloodworms are kind of stinky as is. They have a musky smell, can't imagine them spoiled *shudders*

They taste like :yuck: too. I haven't tasted it myself, but I friend of mine has. She accidentally drank half a cup of bloodworms mixed with Pepsi. She was sick for several days afterwards. :yuck: :yuck: :yuck:

Strange Scandinavian midsummer parties...

I've "bred" blood worms in a large container outside together with mosquito larvae. Much work and space for a small puffer snack. Those did not smell that bad, but the packaged stuff is really nasty - bet much of it is from farms feeding large amounts of chicken manure. Once thawed they probably quickly decay. I don't feed them at all at the moment.
