There is a continuous spectrum of how good or bad consuming different kinds of flesh is for you. Rat lungworm is on one end of the spectrum. Various kinds of fish and poultry are on the other end. It also depends on how much you eat. If you are truly starving, a cheeseburger might be the best thing for you, but for everyday consumption it could be harmful at least compared to leaner meat. Ask a vegan and they will tell you eating meat is harmful and I have to assume they would say the same about that worm, but on the face of it I see no reason why fruitfly larvae would be any worse than McNuggets and they are probably a lot better unless you deep fry them. Gotta admit I loves me some deep fried maggots.
