As if 2020 could get any worse.
According to a professor, a particular species of fly is able to make a fine incision into strawberries that can not be seen with a naked eye.
The strawberries are then transported to your grocery and then your home.
When you soak strawberries in warm saltwater tiny bugs crawl out of the strawberries.
@Eveldick Strawberries are ruined for me. Apparently they've had fly maggots in them since 2008 when the Asian fly that lays eggs in fresh fruit invaded the US. These videos with people putting fresh strawberries in salted water draws out the live maggots and bugs. pic.twitter.com/bIOe5jEljd
