Food Republic suggests letting bacon ‘rest at room temperature for approximately 15 minutes before you cook’ to ensure a quick cook without burning.
“Just a few minutes on your kitchen counter will let your bacon warm up thoroughly allowing it to cook more evenly in the oven or stove top,” they advise.

You might avoid worms that way, but you also don’t want food poisoning. Who’s hungry?
