My husband did an experiment in high school that my son wants to do for his 
science fair, but I can't find anything on it.   It involves bacon, in several 
stages of preparation, from raw to fully cooked.  The bacon is stored and after 
a while, little worms are supposed appear, mostly on the raw bacon.  I need to 
know more on how to do this - any ideas?
