Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue? They don't look like the normal "maggot" that is short and fat, these are long white and skinny.

I would assume this would be normal and if you think about it they should clean the bacteria off. Folks get squimeish when they hear of the word fly, but it doesn't bother me.

In a post end of the world scenario, I don't think this would matter to me.

I agree, if the end of the world happens, I'm sure I'll eat anything just like Andrew zimmerman on the food network. Love that guy!

I would guess you are mixing meat and vegetable waste in the same composting bin... if so this is common, to avoid worms in a compost bin you need to have a "Clean" compost bin for vegetable matter and yard waste and a "Worm" bin for high fat / protein that will draw this type of decomp.

Sounds like bait for panfish

Exactly what I was thinking. Would be a hard sale on my wife though.

Hmmmm . Have you tossed any sort of animal waste into that compost pile? There are several possibilities and none are real nice , though it is a bit unusual for intestinal type parasite to survive in compost it's not all that unusual..............me I'd pour a bunch diesel on that pile after spreading it out a bit and torch it off.
