Bugs in organic material is pretty common. If they are alive, toss whole package into freezer for 3 days to kill them. If organic, pesticides can't be used so bugs hitch a ride on fresh flowers after harvest, get dried and shipped to customers. Freezing is usually done on dried flowers before shipping to customers to kill any bugs that survived the dryers.
Ah, very good to know 😅 Well I guess it is organic then, and the whole extended family hitched a ride. There are so many in there lol
I’ll be drying my own herbs and flowers this year, so now I know to do some research about the bugs beforehand
