Insect larvae in Strawberries
Some strawberries have been infected by the fly 'spotted wing drosophila'. They lay their eggs in strawberries. The insect larvae can be removed by soaking the strawberries in warm salted water for 1/2 hr. This will draw the maggots out, you will see them in the water.
If ingested, they will not harm you. Sorry for such unappetizing news.
Glad I'm not a strawberry fan.

It's a very informative article, thanks Iamrite.
