So glad you posted this, although I'm sorry you had to go thru this. I will look before I bring anything into my house from a rummage sale, etc. I wash everything I buy used, but sometimes bring it to my washer before I do, NO MORE!!
Feeding them to the chickens made me think of when I was in grammer school. Daddy raised a tobacco crop and my brother and I would go thru the patch and pick off the tobacco worms and feed them to the chickens. Daddy would pay us for how many worms we picked off. Sounds gross now, but we thought it was a way to get enough for a candy bar or something small. Not much money back then.
