Anyone else have a phobia of finding worms in fruits while eating?

I am really sensitive about this subject since childhood. My paranoia has become such that I avoid eating fruits and when I do I take very small bites making sure there are no worms.

My mom says I have been like this since the one time I was eating a mango andI saw a worm coming out of it. This was when I was 6.

I have a similar fear for any large groups of crawling insects like ants. I have no idea why I have this fear. At times when it becomes overwhelming for me, I close my eyes and imagine that they are more scared of me than I am of them. This helps me put my mind at ease for a little bit.
