Don't tell me, it was in your cereal. I came very close to doing that once.

So, I have a bird and birds eat seeds. Moths eat seeds. I also have an inevitable, but not bad moth issue in the seed. They lay eggs and larvae live in the seed. I made a salad today and wanted to put walnuts on it. I ate half the salad and stopped when I noticed at least 5 little larvae attached to some of the walnuts. Upon further investigation, almost all the walnuts in the bag had a larvae attached to it. My bird's seed is being stored elsewhere now.

Ok I guess that is a legit reason.

Although I think I would keep seed for the birds separate from seeds I would use for myself.

Call it protein and press on, what doesn't kill ya only makes ya stronger.

Good idea on moving the bag though.

Sort of related..

Apparently at dog food factories or whatever, sometimes moths can get in a batch and lay eggs on the food pellets. We bought a bag of food for our dog and poured it into the container we keep it in to make sure it's sealed. All of the eggs hatched and got all over house and garage and everything. We had a moth infestation for at least two weeks.

Smoke a cigarette, the smoke will kill the bacteria in your stomach.
