* **If the fruit is very mushy or smells sour:** In this case, it is better to discard them, as the larvae have started to damage the fruit or bacteria have begun to ferment it.
### 3. Tips for the future:
* **Immediate Refrigeration:** Put your berries in the fridge as soon as you buy or pick them; the cold stops the eggs from hatching and prevents the larvae from growing.
* **Salt Water Soak:** Continue using the salt water soak (about 1 tablespoon of salt per 2 cups of water) for 10–15 minutes if you want to ensure they are removed before eating.
In short: if the berries look fresh, just wash them well and enjoy them—there is no need to worry!
