Red Food Dye Insects
"Red Eating Bugs"
In recent years, there is a saying about red eating bugs in the market. Its appearance is very different, and its body is reddish, as if it is dyed with red food color.
At the beginning, everyone did not notice it was different. However, over time, it gradually appeared strange. Placed in the place of fruits and vegetables, the fruits and vegetables did not rot, and red lines appeared on the rot, just like the traces of insects. If fed with grains, the grains also produce red mildew, and if eaten, people are prone to diseases, abdominal cramps, and red rashes.
Some good observers said that this insect seems to have a special liking for red eaters, and often gathers in places where red dye is hidden. Or think that the red dye contains strange things, which attract insects to this place, and dye its nature, causing it to be a disaster.
The people in it suffer from it, so they seek a way to get rid of the insects. First use herbs to smoke it, and the insects avoid it for a while, but they rarely return. And lime surrounds the place where it haunts, but it cannot be eliminated.
Later, there were wise men who thought that this insect was both addicted to red color, or could be lured and caught. It is a red bait, which hides poisons, and is placed in the place where the insects often appear. Soon, the insects gather and eat, and after eating, they all die. From then on, the infestation of the red color-eating insects gradually subsided.
