Scary bugs hiding in fruit is a thing that worried me a lot as a child, because my family had a grapevine and my mom told me once that I had to be careful it I was going to pick any of the grapes and eat them, BECAUSE THERE COULD BE BEES IN THEM.
Yeah, guess who never picked another grape ever again, LOL.
I am generally compelled to cut strawberries in half before eating them, given that I did actually find a worm of some sort living in the middle of one a few years ago!
i have to look for holes in cherries, because if there are little holes in them there are little worms in them too.
It’s always been the possibility of moldy/rotting fruit that worried me (though I do check down the middle of raspberries for bugs), but I think I’ll have to start cutting strawberries open.
