I know live tubifex carries parasites and what not... Does freeze dry one carry them as well?
I fed my fish dried tubifex a year ago and the everybody in the tank got sick and I swore off tubifex but I'm rethinking it now.

I don't think any parasites/diseases can live through the freeze-drying process. I use 'em, and I haven't had any problems.
Just be careful not to overfeed with any freeze-dried products - they are notorious for causing constipation which can lead to swim-bladder disease.

I feed my fish (23 tanks of them) freeze dried tubifex all the time and have had no issues with any sickness or parasites related to the worms.
