Default Butternut Squash - has she got worms?!?!

Karma has just scoffed a big slice of butternut squash for the 1st time - she always turned up her nose at it before. This time it was almost as if, once she had tasted it she thought "what have I been missing" as totally ploughed through the rest of it.
If this is supposed to be good for them if they have worms - do you think this is an indication that she may have them? Is her body trying to "rid itself" of them? What does everyone think?

Thanks
Lizz

I wouldn't have thought so, I think they just eat it because they like it. I've not actually seen any info that butternut squash does anything for worms but I have seen info that pumpkin and chicory does
