    As disgusting as it may sound a fly may have laid eegs in the brush. I had a shaggy dog a number of years ago when I bent over to pet her I noticed maggots in her fur, I went nuts trying to find a wound on the animal and then took her to the vet, he told me this was not unusual, flies will lay eggs in fur. This may be what happened to your brush, soak it in some disinfectant and burn/drown the little buggers. Then thoroughly clean the brush. I hope this helps.

    I don't know how large they get but it could be vinegar worms. They are a type of eelworm that feeds on fermenting vinegar.
