Bugs anyone?

Deni's mom maintains that she needs a dose of this Asian bug, known to scientists as ulomoides dermestoides and to laymen as the darkling beetle. According to her, secretions from the insect strengthen the body's defenses against her diabetes.  I don't know how many she eats a day, but they are put in bananas and eat whole and alive. This container is kept in a bedroom on the first floor of their house. Those little black dots are the bugs, she has food in there and cotton.
