While it s documented in media that the eating the worm causes hallucinations this has yet to be medically proven. The worm does not give you hallucinations and it is not an aphrodisiac. First let s get these myths out of the way. The worm is mostly protein and dead and preserved in alcohol.
The worm is pickled in alcohol for more than a year and is made sure to be free to pesticides before being added to mezcal.
