Are bait shop worms safe?

[dogofwar]

I've used bait shop red worms for years. I just dip them in some water to get the external gunk off...and drop them in (whole or in pieces). Worms are a great food!

Yeah, I even use nightcrawlers from Wal-Mart's Sporting Goods section. I wash them off and will usually cut one in half, one for each oscar as a treat every so often. No ill effects yet.

I'm sure all worms are from the same farms. That said, I lost an arrowana feeding bait shop night crawlers.

Why was it from the worms? and how do you know?
