RE: freeze-dried bloodworms as killie food
I too developed a major respiratory allergy to freeze dried bloodworms. And
it took a while to develop as I have been using them for quite some time. I
even tried a mask to reduce the dust particles but the mask did no good. As
a former respiratory therapist, I have seen and treated patients in distress
and I if I were to continue using the freeze dried product, I am sure I
would end up a patient. The symptoms are quite severe with a delayed onset
and a sustained acute phase (4 hours).

Correct me if I am wrong but wasn't the previous discussion about the
allergic effects of FROZEN bloodworm ? Does the FREEZE-DRIED product have
the same effect ?
