Are the bugs inside peanut shells harmful?

Bugs found inside peanut shells, such as weevils or other pests, are generally not harmful to humans. While they can indicate that the peanuts are stale or improperly stored, consuming them is unlikely to cause illness. However, it's best to remove any bugs and inspect the peanuts for quality before eating. If the peanuts show signs of mold or spoilage, it's safer to discard them.
