Mealworms themselves do not kill; they are the larval form of darkling beetles and are often used as a food source for pets and livestock. However, they can carry pathogens that may be harmful to certain animals or humans if consumed in large quantities or if not properly handled. In specific contexts, like infestations, they could indirectly contribute to health issues by damaging crops or stored food. Overall, they are generally harmless and beneficial in many ecosystems.
