No, you can only get worms from other people or animals with worms. Although my mum used to say you could get it from eating sugary foods too....

No, but it is not a good way to start the day. Breakfast is the most important part of the day. Try to eat a health breakfast and save the candy for a treat.

u can eat candy morning,noon and night and NEVER get worms,the foods u eat have nothing to do with worms!the only way to get worms is as follows-touching the ground,as in gardening,or children playing-in which an infested animal has left fecal materials,then putting fingers in ur mouth,or touching food without washing ur hands.the worm eggs u have ingested will now hatch in ur body.using towels or toilet seats immediately after someone with pinworms has used it.ingesting worm eggs or fully grown worms of various kinds from uncooked or not fully cooked meats,lettuce and fish.(yes,sushi-if not prepared carefully!)also,walking barefoot in areas with pinworms in the soil-they actually burrow thru ur feet and enter ur bloodstream from there.a lot of candy is not good for u in other ways,but worms are only transmissable via direct physical contact-burrowing,ingesting,etc.

Nope. That's what grown ups used to tell us so they wouldn't have super hyper kids tearing up the house on Saturday mornings.
This is an annual tradition for my niece and I when I go home for Christmas. This past Christmas, we went through 11 bags of candy in 1 week!
My niece loves me, but my sister in law is hating right now :-D

Parasites thrive on sugar. You cannot get worms from eating sweets, but you will create an internal environment that is optimum for parasites if you eat too many sweets.
I think tooth decay might be a more immediate worry.

That's what some people say but in reality you can't. Some people say this to their children so they will be afraid to eat too much candy. I have not actually heard anyone say that it has happened to them or someone they know.

Only if the candy has worms in it.

No. You have to eat worms to get worms.

Yes, but you just kinda learn to get along. Become one with the worms. Befriend the worms. Love the worms.......
