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

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.

Worms and bugs in fruit doesn't bother me. Sure, I'm disappointed the fruit is ruined and I'll throw it into my compost.

I will say though the one phobia I have now after having worked as a cook for 20 years is I will never eat seafood unless I personally butcher it and cook it. You would be amazed at the amount of worms that live in the flesh of big fish.

Hol up so you don't eat packaged fish either? I've never found worms in sealed up fish
