Rightly or wrongly I never have, although I have never tried anything that might be considered to be anything other than safe,.. I dont think that beetles need anything doing to them, but I do cleanse the worms by drawing them through my fingers

I have never tried snails, I have always stayed shy of them

I used to keep aviary birds and many of them were fed on grubs, and I remember that I had to cleanse them, it was done by putting them into a bowl of bran for a day until the black guts of the wee beastie was no longer there
