How did the maggots that appeared in cherries grow recently? Is it really harmless to eat?

From flies. This maggot is the larva of Drosophila melanogaster, which lays eggs on cherries and hatches maggots.

According to experts, eating cherries with insects is harmless to the human body, because the insects can't resist the corrosion of gastric acid and die quickly, and are digested and absorbed by the human body, and will not continue to parasitize in the human body.

But it's best not to bring insects to eat cherries, although maggots don't live in the human body and can't be eaten after all. Moreover, the cherry with insects has poor color and appearance, sunken epidermis, dark brown spots, juice overflow and even rot. Peel it off, it's rotten, black and sour.

The breeding cycle of fruit flies is very short, and it usually takes about a week to breed one generation. Larvae is too small to be found easily. Because this fruit is directly imported, it is easy to increase pesticide residues in the fruit, and chemical pesticides are generally not used. Soak in light salt water before eating, and maggots will drill out cherries. If you find a lot of maggots floating up, it is recommended not to eat them. Maggots will bring bacteria into the fruit, and it is inevitable that the fruit will not deteriorate. It is better to throw it away for health.
