WORM WOMAN MAKES LIVING EATING WORMS



CALGARY, Alberta (Wireless Flash) – The early bird catches the worm – unless the “Worm Woman” gets there first. The Worm Woman is 40-year-old Brenda Fox, who makes a living eating live worms and maggots in a sideshow stage act. Fox says she’s always been a stage performer, but first started eating worms in 1992 when she and her friends put together a sideshow act and she was elected as the worm eater. She says she has no words to describe the taste of worms, but the aftertaste is reminiscent of cologne. Fox only eats live bugs – mostly because she was once told a live bug is probably a healthy bug. She can be seen chowing down on the creepy-crawlers next Tuesday’s (Nov. 20) episode of To Tell The Truth.
