Batesmotel Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 It’s not the bugs. It’s the toxins in the waste they produce. Can be seriously bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT4494 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Grits? Bugs? What's the difference. They both crunch a little when you bite down... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.Cicero Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 You should maybe check your flour, cornmeal, and rice, too... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostinTexas Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 That is why you toss grain products into the freezer for a few weeks, or months, before long term storage. They all do that. Grits, flour, corn meal, and just about anything else. Kinda gross, and ignorance is bliss. Don't ask the ingredients of bologna or hot links, while on the subject. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dukenukem Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 They won’t survive the cooking process. They might even make the grits edible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
