    not something I would do....you can't guarantee that they have secreted all the poison from the glands.....

    Yikes. What a risky idea... For the sake of convenience.

    Yeah, wouldn't it just be easier to order some safe worms from me?

    Re: Tricking the poison out of worms

    Well, at this point I'm limiting myself to working with the panfish worms, and everything seems to be going well.
    I've been poking the worm until the first bit of poison comes out, then rinsing the worm in hot water to kill it and possibly destroy/neutralize the toxin.
    If I recall, Wayne used panfish worms without any negative side effects for a while; perhaps they don't even need the rinsing.

    I did, the Dekayi loved them, but they gobble up the chopped crawlers as well, so I feel safer with that.
