Beetles everywhere!

The Story:
I went to Wally World yesterday and got some more WBS + other supplies.
I came home, threw everything I purchased on my bed and left it there because football was on.
Later in the day, I come to my room and sprawl out across my bed to get to my phone which is on the phone charger. I'm checking through my fantasy team and I feel a bug crawling on my leg. I jump and clear the bug off me, thinking it was just one. I lay back down, again feel something. I look down at my bed and there are quite literally a hundred little beetles fucking everywhere.
After a minor meltdown and a lot of fun with a lighter, the beetles were all dead. I open my bag of WBS and there are hundreds of little beetles. Like hundreds.
The Question:
Are the beetles going to cause me any trouble more than they already have? Meaning do they have the ability to somehow contaminate my WBS jars?
I doubt the bugs would survive the 12-24hr soak + steaming the WBS and they definitely won't last the PC... but could some bacteria in their guts survive and ruin my jars? I've been dealing with enough contamination with the change of the seasons, I want to mitigate risk of contamination if I can.
Thanks!

idk man I'd return that shit... that is not what you paid for. Then again, I wouldn't want to put that bag back in my car... I'd probably throw it away and go back with a receipt and tell them the deal, you can probably just get another one.
Although it would be fun to pressure cook those fuckers...
I don't think it would cause any extra problems except maybe lower quality seed perhaps?

Got a call from my girl screaming one night when I asked her to soak some seed for me, those bugs were everywhere it's just something that happens to grains. I would just take back and get a new bag.

I put the bag outside I was so perturbed by it.
Here are a couple snapshots:
  
My bed sheets are dark blue, so you can see why I didn't notice them off hand when I went in my room. Talk about a surprise!

I might just take it back... good idea
I hadn't ever seen bugs in my WBS which is the nature of my question. Good to know that it happens every once in a while and there shouldn't be too much to worry about.

I would say cook them but they might have damaged the kernels which could leed to a lot of burst seeds andd potentially an outcome of mean green.
