Infestation

When life doesn’t seem it could get worse it does.

I opened a box of Rice-a-Roni to eat an hour ago and discovered many small brown bugs crawling all over the place, accompanied by younger larvae. At first, I picked out most of the bugs and threw them into the kitchen sink, flushing them down with water every so often. This process took very long and I was stupid to not think of an alternative method for most of the time. Then I decided to let the aggregate sit in boiling water. Most of the remaining critters floated on the hot water, dead. I drained them out and alternated cold and hot water into the aggregate and drained repeatedly till nothing “visible” remained. I isolated the two remaining boxes of Rice-a-Roni in a bag and put them in the freezer to kill whats inside those boxes.

Needless to say, this was something I don’t want to do ever again. Turns out this is a common thing (I checked online) and they were grain weevils. Grain weevils can go fuck themselves.
