Has anyone else noticed flies in their home each time they buy fresh fruit and vegetables, which go uneaten for a small period of time? I do, and I'm begining to believe that maggot larva lives on the fresh fruits and vegetables we buy and consume. Furthermore, I believe, we eat maggot larva every time we eat fresh fruits and vegetables, whether or not we rinse-off the fresh fruit and vegetables before we eat them. Someone please tell me I'm wrong.
It's the dead of winter where I live. The high temperatures here, in Ohio, were in the negatives less than a week ago. We have snow, and the high temperatures are in the mid-twenties now. It would seem that it's too cold for flies.
We didn't see any flies until I went grocery shopping. I purchased apples and bananas; I also bought a couple of heads of lettuce and a bag of spinach, and a few other vegetables--such as tomatoes and cucumbers, for a salad. There are, now, flies in our home that seem immune to death.
Did the flies come from the fruit and vegetables I bought? If so, how did they grow into flies after I brought the things I purchased home? The only logical conclusion is that the flies came from the fresh fruits and vegetables that I purchased.
Excluding the bananas, I rinsed each item off before I consumed them. I was taught, as we all were, not to consume fresh fruits and vegetables without rinsing them off before eating them. So I don't/didn't. Still the flies exist.
The flies must have come into being as soon as I brought the fruit and vegetables home. Hence, the maggot larva must exist on the surface of fresh fruits and vegetables. Given all of this, doesn't it follow, or isint it atleast plausible, that maggot larva burroughs and digs itself into the skin of the fresh fruits and vegetables we eat? Doesn't consuming maggot larva become unhealthy at some point? Again, someone please tell me I'm wrong.

Yup! Did you know that most of the beef you eat, especially hamburgers contain considerable amounts of manure?
