Keep it in the fridge! I once noticed caraway seed movement when I was
adding them to sauerkraut.

I usually do. This was a Jiffy muffin mix with a 12/08 expiry. I'd
tossed some earlier-dated stuff this morning and figured this would be
okay. Barf.

I bet they'd stop moving if you baked them. :-) Think protein!

Can't do it. Never could. Watching meal move churns my stomach.

NO, Barb, I couldn't either. It gives me the willies. Years ago I found a
moth in a box of cereal. I threw out the entire contents of the pantry.
Ugh!

OTOH, I have known people would have just sifted the meal and moved on. I
don't want to eat there.

About the moth thing, what did you do? I have recently seen 'a moth' flying
around in the den. I thought it was just a stray moth who found himself
inside and ignored him/it. Now I have learned that moths are a real
household pest. I have even killed some of them. I haven't found any in the
pantry but I know they must have some food source. So what did you do
about your moth? Did it turn out to be just one or were there more? Did you
call an exterminator?

Where did I read this story? About sailors plucking the bugs out of
their hardtack. Throwing away their best source of protien.

I once had an infestation of tiny moth. Eventually tracked them down
to living in my garrlic. If I knew, would have used them for garnish.

Luckily it was confined to the pantry and only a couple of boxes of cereal.
There were numerous moths and larvae in the two toxes. I think I must have
brought it from the store when I bought the cereal, but none of the
products were old. Still, I was afraid of further contamination. After I
disposed of everything, I washed everything down with bleach water and
allowed it to dry. I didn't restock for several days. Didn't need an
exterminator.

I'd wait until I saw a few more and make sure they all looked the same.
Against all odds, I found a cockroach in my house twenty years ago,
killed it and didn't mention it to my wife. I've seen no other nor
evidence of any since. I had been to a river that had cockroaches around
it the weekend before and think I rolled one up in my camp clothes.
After ten years, I broke the story gently to my wife to prevent
hysteria. We have moths occasionally. Kissing bugs (Western Conenose
Bug) and black widows get my immediate and undivided attention.

Check anything you own that's wool. If something like a
wool carpet gets them you can vacuum most of them off then
have it treated. Frequent vacuuming with a good powerful
vacuum cleaner deters moths. Wool clothing should be kept in
sealed bags along with cedar blocks. (But, do not put a loose
possibly infested piece of clothing into the bag!) Only
in a worst case scenario do you want to use mothballs, as
the smell is onerous.

Repeated sightings of a stray moth or two other than
in the kitchen/pantry is a possible sign you have left a piece
of wool clothing somewhere unattended nearby.

I have not used exterminators for moths. You can usually
beat them back with the above methods, unless it has gotten
really out of hand.

I'd give it a pass too, and I'm generally adventurous with food. <g>

What I don't know. . . .
I can't do it, though.

Two days ago I had my first Ritz cracker since I was about seven, when I bit
into one and found a worm. I finally decided it was time to take a risk. No
movement this time.

I'm that way with Malt-O-Meal. Haven't had it since I was little. And
I'm not likely to ever try it again. Stuff that's moved when I was an
adult (I'm not anymore) didn't traumatize me that way.

Movement in the meal or the egg? Curious minds and all that. Besides,
weevils just add extra protein to the corn muffins.
