Thread: need help worms on a brush

Never heard of anything like this so far, pretty gross but I'm sure the soak in barbicide is sufficient.

Are they big enough to hunt?

I myself would first soak for 30 minutes in baby bottle sterolising fluid, remove shake dry, then I would seal he brush in a thin palstic bag and place in my deep freeze for one day then use medicated shampoo rinse and then conditioner, and another few rinses, done.

Great! I am looking at my brush now, under magnification. Something else to worry about!

Like it's been suggested by a couple of the guys here, toss the thing.
I have to go check my brushes...

You'll never know if you get all the eggs out. Many things will kill them (the worms) dead but not the eggs. Just think you can be the guy who gets the eggs into your skin and then they hatch and grow and start munching on your innards-Har har.

I would toss the brush-seriously.

When I read the OP, I then noticed that he lives in Miami. I thought Holy Sh** I live in Ft. Lauderdale, they could be headed this way; only 10 miles to cover.
I immediately ran to the "Shave Den" (small cramped bathroom) and cleaned my brush for over a 1/2 hour.
Re-located the fly swatter next to my strop. Today I went to Home Depot and hung one of those fly paper stickies next to the point of entry.
I didn't sleep well last night.

If the worms live off of Keritan which hair is made of, the maybe they're eating your stubble. Seriously, I lean towards ditching the brush.

this is a wild issue. i am truly paranoid now... i doubt that brush up or down will stop whatever from laying eggs in your brush though..

I think we're missing the bright side again here. These worms are unlikely to be harmful. If they are in the lather when it is applied, the little buggers' movement will churn up the lather into a kind of worm uberlather. Of course, shaving them off the face with the lather will be a little tough on them, and you might be able to hear their little cries for help. Try earplugs.
