is earthworm really safe for fish?

[GarNiac]

hi all, just like the question said, what do you guys think?
do I need to put some medications prior feeding them to my fishes? do they contain parasites n bacteria?
cheers

Ive fed a few to my catfish a few times, i simply wash them off in water then dangle them in the water, they get sucked up like spaghetti. later-

I like to squeeze out the remaining dirt that is in the digestive tract before I feed it to my oscar. I'd like to believe that the oscar appreciates me doing this. Never had any concerns about parasites.

parasites not so much, bacteria not so much.. herbicides and pesticides more likely.... avoid getting them from any area thats recently had either used. Most bait shop worms are fine. If your concerned about them simply gut-load them/keep them in some clean beding for a week or so to flush their systems. I've never had any issues feeding worms to my fish.. and have been doing it for a few years now.
