    Aren’t there like little harmless worms in strawberries? I definitely have eaten like thousands of those worms.

      Yup! The ones in guava are bigger though, far more visible, and people always joke the worst part isn’t finding a worm there, but half a worm. (Just a wee bit of protein~)

        If you find half a worm, you just spit it out, cut/bite out the wormy part and continue. Can’t throw the whole fruit. Although the worms I remember in guava make hard shells around them as they eat, so most times you bite into it, know immediately, and throw that part.

          You can’t spit it out after you already swallowed it! And the ones I’m used to don’t make any sort of hard shell, they simply wiggle their way into the fruit.

          Not that it’s a big deal - if they caused any harm, I’d be dead already.
