    Ants in my creatine, should I still take it?

    I have been using Pro-Performance's non-flavoured creatine for a few months now, and I believed it was due to an incident where I used the same tablespoon that contained Glucose, scooping off the creatine to my shake. Unfortunately, I did NOT seal the cover properly, which causes the glocose terminated creatine to attract ants crawling all over it. It was only yesterday I opened my creatine bottle and realise about 8-10 ants crawling inside. 10 minutes later I checked again and can't see the ants, which I presumed they were hidden somewhat INSIDE.

    So my question is, is there anyway to drive the ants out of my creatine powder? Or should I continue consuming it w/o giving a hoot? I've only use about 50% of it.
    Keep on going...

    EWWWWWW! GROSS!

    Throw it out and buy a new container! If there were ants in your sweet potatoes, but you "took them out", would you still eat it?

    A nice guy in my gym gave me an advice saying I can put my creatine beside a stove or something that is heating, with the cap removed, and the ants will eventually crawl away. I wanna give that a try, but still find it a little gross. Oh well, guess I have no choice but to stop using it for the time being, it's too costly for me.

    Just do a science experiment..

    Open the creatine jar, put a plate of honey next to the open jar...and see which treat they prefer.... maybe you'll get the ants to abandon your creatine for the gooey stuff...either that or you'll have sticky tracks all over your counter top with trails of creatine...

    Hey, some extra protein wouldn't hurt! Haven't you heard of chocolate covered ants?

    And here I was thinking just about every topic has been discussed on this website.

    I'd just eat it. There only ants for gods sake! They're not going to kill you.....Having said that, if they were cockroaches I wouldn't eat it. I draw the line at cockroaches.

    I don't know about the ants -- I throw the stuff out!!

    But, in a related story --

    Someone at my husband's office had a box of protein powder (packets) that he kept in his office and a rat got in there and ate ALL OF IT except one or two packets.....

    Can't you just see this buffed up rat walking around ...
    All the glory to God!

    Eat the ants, it may do more than the creatine.
