Question:
Is it true that the severity of eating bugs is different if the bugs are alive or dead? Which is worse? What if the bugs were alive and then you cooked them and they died when you cooked them and then you ate them?
Answer:
There is no difference whether the bugs are dead or alive. If they were cooked, and not they are no longer whole it is still prohibited but in some instances it is more lenient because they might become botil.
Best Wishes
