    They have to be frozen for a certain amount of hours before they could be "deemed" safe, and I'm sure the amount of time varies for each parasite. I've heard 18 hours, but who knows, there could be parasites that can survive that. I understand what your saying, just throwing out my opinion. It wasn't cheap to get rid of my normal males hookworms and it was difficult to medicate, and IMO it's not worth the "free" food, because it might not end up being free in the end.
