![]() ![]() Even tank water once bloodworms have been added can be enough to produce a reaction. I have read that some people will react just to being around them, whether or not they’ve been digested. This would limit my physical contact with the nasty little beasts. What I should probably do, is allow the cube to defrost in a little ramekin before tossing the whole lot into the tank. This allows the slower -moving and poorly-sighted fish more access to the tasty food. I rub it between my fingers to defrost it quicker and allow more of it to drop to the bottom. Currently, I take a cube from the freezer and hold it in my tank. From what I’ve read, lots of contact might stimulate a reaction. I only feed, maybe, one frozen cube per week to my fish so I don’t have a massive amount of contact with them. After that, there will be no more bloodworms! I’m only half way through one frozen pack out of two. My fish might love them but my skin is sensitive enough. If that was the case, people who are allergic to dust and dustmites would be up chocolate creek without a lollipop stick! At the moment, I’m not allergic (touch wood!), but having done a little research into bloodworms, I don’t think I’ll be buying anymore. While I am not a doctor, I do know that allergies do not need to present the first time you come into contact with something. I prefer frozen as there’s less chance of any excess air getting in there. I mean I love my fish but HELL NO! Those teeth! Instead, freeze dried or frozen are the way forward for me. I really don’t think I could be tempted to cultivate my own bloodworm colony.
