They actually are, but not quite like that.

[reFORMer]

I wonder about the virtually microscopic worm that lives in each of our tear ducts.  I think they are symbiotic, keeping the tear duct clean.  I think I can sense they are lonely for some reason.  At least they aren't obtrusive.  I wonder if mine has died. I don't know where to get another one.  They will probably be resurrected with us.

  I just recall Jacob being called a worm  before his name change to Israel
  Isa 41:14 Fear not, thou worm Jacob, [and] ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
   to me the worm is   "represents"    symbolizes   never "content or satisfied  imaturity , still in   growth and change ....
  Jacob means Jacob = "heel holder" or "supplanter" –verb (used with object) 1. to take the place of (another), as through force, scheming, strategy, or the like.
2. to replace (one thing) by something else.
Origin:
1250–1300; ME supplanten < L supplantāre to trip up, overthrow. See sup-, plant

Related forms:

 
sup⋅plant⋅er, noun


Synonyms:

 and Israel = "God prevails"   note that "both "names are used  in this one verse ?
 
 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. 


 Mar 9:40 For he that is not against us is on our part. 


 Mar 9:41 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward. 


 Mar 9:42 And whosoever shall offend one of [these] little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. 


 Mar 9:43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 


 Mar 9:44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 
 Mar 9:45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 


 Mar 9:46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 

 Mar 9:47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: 


 Mar 9:48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 
 Mar 9:49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. 


 Mar 9:50 Salt [is] good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.

If there were indeed such a mythological creature eons ago in my eyes, they've long since perished with several bags of Lays potato chips in my youth to where the salt would come out of the corners of my eyes back then in these little crystals.  Probably the popcorn and other stuff would have been an issue too, back when ignorance was bliss and salt and sugar were the two primary food groups for me!  Back then, I could get for just a dollar, or maybe a tiny bit more, these big ol' bags of premade popcorn from K-mart that were almost as big as me.  And for a really little kid like I was, particularly with a spirit of famine at the time, I didn't know the difference between that and some good homemade stuff, particularly when nobody was making that at home for me.  I could have probably eaten my weight in that back then, and then wondered the rest of the day why I had such chapped lips.
