Hello Paul,

compost worms can indeed consume some pathogens and parasite eggs and reduce the health risks of soil and compost they have been given as food.

However, this is quite a complex subject and to find out more details about this subject I suggest you do more research.

As a starting point, please have a look at the following article from our website.

Wishing you all the best and God's richest blessings.

Kind regards
