Can I 'feed' the same worm to two tarantulas

So I threw a worm in my Rosea's enclosure and it escaped him. Dug into the substrate.
I threw another one in and he killed it.
Then he dug up the other worm and killed it too.

He only ate one. The other - is it now full of venom? Can I feed it to another Tarantula?

I have no Idea, but I have had that happen to me, too. I always discard it. Better safe than sorry... Rather have to buy new feeders than have to live with the fact that I killed my T.

As the others have said, your best bet is to just discard it, worms are what, a couple of cents a pop, it's not worth the potential risk.
