The NatGeog special I saw them on said it was a cuzzin to the Earthwerm, so yada yada.. Wiki sez they melt at 5°C! *Which I guess is the same as 41°F*

I t just floored me - I had never heard of nor seen it before

I think I'd rather eat snow than suffer dehydration. My body should withstand ice worms, hell, it withstands most mexican bacterias pretty well

wow. that was weird.. I had a post goin' but it diskappeared! Oh well - what i was sayin was if ya eat 2 much snow in a survival sitiation, ya can freeze yer bones frum the inside out.. *Core temp gets too low, and you fall into hypothermia easier* but yeah werms would give ya extra protein, I guess, too.
anyways - was a weird bit of science I learnt.
