I used to live in Washington and a lot of friends and family had cherry trees. One summer day I was out picking cherries at my brothers house, with my 3 yr old nephew "helping," every third or fourth cherry instead of putting it in the bucket I'd bite it in half being sure to get the pit in my half and then hand the other half to him. About 15 cherries later I actually looked down at the half I was taking away from my mouth and saw the worms. Little wiggling white worms. We stopped picking and eating right then.
