I'm assuming the tree was doomed before he hatcheted into it?
That was an unusual abode for witchetty grubs. They are more typically found hollowing out the roots of a particular shrub, the name of which escapes me now. You dig out the root and normally find a dozen or more grubs in it. Keep in mind that they are usually just one part of a meal. They are quite nice roasted too.
Trees and bushes are pretty much doomed once grubs bore into them.
As for allergies, I understand. I know someone whose gums become inflamed by walnuts. One of my sisters can't eat tomatoes for the same reason. But again, you don't usually know until you tried.
