In Hinduism
Vastushastra (architecture)
If Worms are found on Trees, then it should not be used for gathering Wood as a Material for the Construction of Temples, according to the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, an ancient Sanskrit text which (being encyclopedic in nature) deals with a variety of cultural topics such as arts, architecture, music, grammar and astronomy.—Finding of proper types of materials is one of the important aspects for any construction. In the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, the architect is suggested to go to the forest to collect appropriate wood for temples in an auspicious day after taking advice from an astrologer. The woods of the trees [e.g., which are eaten by worms, etc.] are totally discarded for making temples. [...] The eco-friendly suggestions of Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa are seen to protect the greenery and to balance a pollution free environment.
Vastushastra (वास्तुशास्त्र, vāstuśāstra) refers to the ancient Indian science (shastra) of architecture (vastu), dealing with topics such architecture, sculpture, town-building, fort building and various other constructions. Vastu also deals with the philosophy of the architectural relation with the cosmic universe.
Ayurveda (science of life)
Toxicology (Study and Treatment of poison)
The study of Worms (habitat, bites and treatment) refers to one of the topics dealt with in the Kāśyapa Saṃhitā: an ancient Sanskrit text from the Pāñcarātra tradition dealing with both Tantra and Viṣacikitsā, which represents the Ayurvedic study on Toxicology (Viṣavidyā or Sarpavidyā).—The Kāśyapasaṃhitā gives deep insights in respect of different mantras as also the different varieties of snakes alongside with all the attendant details. It also deals in detail with different kinds of rat-bites, bites of twenty kinds of insects like spider, scorpion, centipede, fish and worms and their antidotes and long-term treatment regimen for various venomous bites
