What about the insects in the cherry? According to experts, this is a kind of insect larva named 'cherry fruit fly' (a kind of fruit fly). It is the eggs of cherry fruit fly that are produced in the cherry. The hatched larva is not a sensational maggot. The larva of Drosophila is different from the "maggot" in our common impression. It is close to the fly, but it is not a fly. It is a kind of fly that lives on mature fruit. It may appear on all kinds of mature fruits.
Drosophila parasitize in the fruits of plants and only move on the fruits. From birth to growth, the larvae are all in a pollution-free environment, with few pathogens. Therefore, this kind of insect is harmless to the human body. Even if these larvae are eaten in the stomach, they will not become parasites after entering the human body, but will be killed by stomach acid and digested directly, and become protein digested and absorbed by the human body, which is beneficial to health.
Whether the fruit will grow insects depends on the specific situation. Generally speaking, the probability of such a situation is not high. In fact, any plant or fruit, including cherry, bayberry, blueberry, strawberry, etc., has the possibility of insect growth. The net borne 'cherry maggot' is an individual and normal phenomenon.
In addition, Drosophila is very sensitive to pesticides. It can be seen in cherries, which just shows that cherries are safe. In recent years, cherry insects have been mentioned more frequently, which is related to the increase of insects caused by non pesticide cultivation.
