allergic reaction to bloodworms, etc.



I have used frozen bloodwowrms for some time.  I too have experienced burning eyes which may be because of the bloodworms. 
 
Doubtlessly, they are nutritious and accepted by most killies.  I thaw the worms in warm (not  hot) water, rinse and then feed.  A distinct smell, which reminds me of some type of solvent, appears during thawing.  Is there a preservative or something added to the worms before freezing?  Have not noticed anything as pronounced with frozen brine shrimp, although it too has a distinctive odor.
