Lugworms do not bite in the way that many animals do; they lack teeth or a biting mechanism. Instead, they feed by ingesting sediment and organic matter from the ocean floor. If handled, lugworms may wriggle or squirm, but this is a defensive behavior rather than an aggressive one. Thus, while they can be unsettling, they pose no threat of biting.
