Raw noodles and Worms
Can raw noodles cause worms?
(Last Updated: Apr 26, 2006)
It is not likely. Worms or parasite infection comes from poor hygiene, particularly from handling food with unwashed hands and not cooking food properly. Fish and meats are more likely to carry parasites, that is why it is important to cook them thoroughly.

If the flour from which the noodles were made contains insects or maggots, then it is possible to ingest them. Pantry moths are a typical kitchen pest in many areas of the country.

No, digesting uncooked meat causes worms
