Tigerworms/earthworms with abscesses?

[Louis Charles Bruckner]

Feeding any WC feeder to a pet is taking a risk in my own opinion.

That is why I had to get rid of a colony of Dubia roaches that got contaminated with
a local species of cockroach.
I keep my roaches in a separate building from my home and got forgetful and left
the top off of the bin.

I didn't want to take a chance of a tapeworm infection or any other kind of parasite.

it is totally up to you on how much of a chance you want to take with your pet.
My self I rather loose a coupe hundred feeders than risk getting my Pepito sick.
and paying high vet bills much less seeing him suffer.

I've seen this before on a few worms that I have caught...I'd like to know what it is as well.

My guys are wildcaught themselves and are around 3-4 years old, when I found them. They get fed wild beetles and eartworms once i a while from wooded areas and they seem to be doing fine

Thank you for your opinion, but do you know what those things are a symptom of? I'd just like to know, cause I've never seen it on any of the smaller earthworms I used to catch, where I found them.
