It is not safe or healthy to eat soil as it may contain harmful chemicals, toxins, or pathogens that can make you sick. Eating large amounts of soil can also cause digestive issues and nutrient deficiencies. It's important to stick to consuming safe and nutritious food for your health.

What eats soil?

Various organisms such as earthworms, nematodes, and bacteria consume soil as part of their natural diet. These organisms help break down organic matter in the soil, releasing nutrients that are essential for plant growth. Overall, the consumption of soil by these organisms plays a vital role in maintaining soil fertility and ecosystem health.


How can you find out if a earthworm eats soil?

You can find out if an earthworm eats soil by observing it in a controlled environment, such as a terrarium, with soil and other food sources. If you see the earthworm consuming soil by ingesting it and passing it through its digestive system, then it is likely consuming the soil. Additionally, the presence of soil particles or organic matter in the earthworm's waste (castings) can indicate that it is eating soil.


How can you tell if an earthworm has eaten soil?

Well... You can't. Earthworms have a tendency to eat dirt since they live in it. So practically, they eat dirt and they dispose it! If you cut open a worm, you would see mostly dirt because that's what's inside! They eat it... They dispose of it... They live it.
