This bug called “ COCHINEAL” is what people unknowingly are eating nearly everyday.

This is often used in food as a red dye.

It’s found in candies - like Nerds , Gummy Clusters , foods that have red colour and even cosmetics under the name “CARMINE COLOUR”.

Please parents read those labels and don’t eat it and don’t let your children eat it , this is a parasite.
