As we go into planting season please be aware that the USA has an invading species of worm called the Hammerhead Worm.They are indigenous to Southeast Asia and are currently in Alabama , Georgia and parts of Florida and South Carolina. Some say they have already made it to New England.Don’t cut it into 10 pieces because it will grow 10 more worms (they are immortal). YOU MUST dissolve in salt and vinegar in a jar for a few days. You can also freeze the worm if you’re not about to kill it alive before dissolving it. Do not touch them with your hands and then touch your mouth. They are believed to carry an potent tetrodotoxin , which is also found in pufferfish. Use gloves when handling.
