Is it safe to drink out of cup that i found some baby maggots in from the heat if i clean out the cup?

Question

i came home from work on a hot day to find out that i had dumped out what was left in the cup the day before, but had forgot to rinse it out well. when i went to rinse it out before putting it in the dishwater, i found stuff floating in the water that i thought was mold at first but appeared to be baby maggots. I ran lots of hot water over the cup and kept walking it outside to dump in the sewer drain....safe to drink out of still???? (my fave cup from college days)

Answer 1

As long as you leave it to soak for a few days with a good cleaner, then give it a few good washes it will be fine

Answer 2

Yes. It's perfectly safe. Wash it well, and make sure you sterilize it with boiling water. Dishwasher will do fine, as it goes to 100 degress for ages.

Answer 3

IF you must keep it-must-being key word here.Pour pure 100% bleach in it and soak for an hour.That will sanitize it.Me,everytime I saw that cup I would think of maggots.Your call,E

Answer 4

NO

Cups are soo cheap, go buy another one to be on the safe side.

Answer 5

I would soak it hot soapy water then scrub it really good and rinse in hot water. Putting it in a dishwasher would be best. Your fave cup will be just fine. Cheers.

Don't do what the above person said, to soak it in bleach. If your cup is plastic, the plastic will absorb the bleach and you won't be able to get rid of the strong bleach smell.

Answer 6

No, Even if I bleached it and put it through the dishwasherr 10 times I would not feel comftorable drinking from it

Cups are very cheap

Answer 7

I'm going to be sick. I would have immediately thrown it away, then taken a little trip to the bathroom with a bucket.
