Default blood worms

I should be more specific. I have searched previous posts and typically the
response is dont worry they're a normal pond thing. However, I don't
believe they are being filtered out of the pond. The only ones I have seen
were in the folds, which leads me to believe they grew there. My concern is
whether this could be indicative of them growing in a medium (of gunk) which
would be conducive to bad bacteria growth.

As discussed in an earlier post, I went ahead and moved my egg crate
mattress pad to a different 'box', with plumbing. It serves as both
mechanical and bio filter and is fed by a filter which is primarily bio. I
noticed when I moved the material, there were a small number of blood

worms
in the gunk in the folds of the mattress pad. Is this cause for concern?
