The harm of red nematodes

Red nematodes are also called water earthworms. They are slender and red in appearance. They are generally about four centimeters long and can be up to ten centimeters long. Red nematodes generally live in water and have a strong reproductive capacity. If they enter the human body, they can cause nausea, vomiting, and gastrointestinal discomfort. They can also easily invade the bodies of animals and are quite harmful.

1 Red nematodes generally refer to water earthworms, and they are still water earthworms when they grow up. The red worm that turns into a mosquito is a mosquito larva, which is shorter and thinner than the red nematode. Both of them are used for fish farming. More people use blood worms than red nematodes because blood worms have high nutritional value and are suitable for a wider range of fish species. The most important thing is that red nematodes grow in silt, and are much more likely to carry harmful bacteria than red worms.

2 The "red nematode" is red and slender all over, generally about 4 cm long, and can be up to 10 cm long. Red nematodes generally live in river water and sewage, and their reproductive capacity increases as the temperature rises. Experts believe that red nematodes are not parasites and will not cause direct harm to the human body if eaten. However, the bacteria they carry and their excrement can cause gastrointestinal discomfort, leading to symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. At the same time, as an "indicator organism" of unclean water, its existence shows that the tap water has been contaminated by organic matter at some point in the transportation process.

3 Red nematodes do not cause direct harm to the human body, but their bacteria and excrement can cause harm to the human gastrointestinal tract. These bacteria will not enter the blood. The bacteria carried by the red nematode and its excrement can cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. So try to avoid it. I hope my answer can help you

4 Are the red nematodes you mentioned for fishing and the red nematodes you feed your own fish the same kind of worms? If so, I personally think it should be okay. I have goldfish at home and occasionally go with my friends to catch red lines to feed the fish. Occasionally I also meet some other people who catch fish insects. If they are harmful to humans, those people who catch insects would have stopped catching them long ago.
