Health officials in Thailand are warning people not to eat raw earthworms after a YouTube video went viral of a man-eating a spicy salad with raw earthworms. 

In an earlier clip, the man told viewers that if his video got 10,000 likes, he would film himself eating raw earthworms.

The man mixed the earthworms with fish sauce, chilli powder, sugar and lime and filmed himself taking a big bite. The video has been viewed more than 250,000 times since August 24.

A doctor recently posted a message on Facebook warning people not to eat raw earthworms because they may be contaminated with parasite eggs from waste. The director of the Thai Ministry of Health also warned people not to eat the raw worms, as they can cause food poisoning and diarrhoea.
