RESEARCH Aug 03 2021 Worm Spitting Powered by Muscle Cells That Perform Two Actions at Once When hungry worms encounter bad-tasting chemicals, they stop eating and spit. To make this switch possible, a muscle in their mouths does two different things simultaneously, splitting up its activity in a way that scientists have never seen before.
