"Good. These are not your run-of-the-mill Beater's bats," Vindictus said and put on a pair of thick gloves before pulling one of the bats out of the box. There was a reddish coil wrapped around and protruding through parts of the bat. The coil appeared to be glistening slightly and it moved. "Worm infestation, but not just any kind of worm. These worms have teeth and love to feast on the core of the bats. You have to remove each worm carefully. Tug too hard, then they'll secrete a thick, greenish pus that has the gooey consistency of snot and smells like rotting garbage. Then they'll secure themselves even tighter to the bat. If they squeeze too tight, they'll bust the bat and then you'll have to deal with worm guts. Very nasty when that happens." He put the bat back into the box. "You'll do this with your bare hands. There's about two worms in each bat. After you remove a worm, drop it in this barrel. When you finish deworming a bat, place it on the floor beneath the table. Time to get started."
