How Can Accidental Consumption Of A Worm Be Treated?
I ate a pistachio with a worm inside. As soon I noticed worms inside the packet, I went to washroom and vomited but not completely. I am worried about if any symptoms will show up, because I am in my final term of my Masters and I cannot fall sick now. please help

Hello,
Very likely there is nothing to worry about having swollen a part of the worm. It is disgusting and it caused you to throw up but I do not think it is going to cause you to get sick.
Just make sure you continue to eat and drink well and rest as needed so you may do a good job with your Masters.
I hope this answers your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
