Will blackworms contaminate my axolotl tank?

Hi! So, in my axolotl tank I have black sand. It's a pretty big tank. So when I feed my little one blackworms, she'll get the majority of them. Except some will fly around. I try and suction them to give back to her. But a) it's a pain to get the individual ones b) it's time-consuming to get them all. Is it okay if I just leave a few in the tank? Will she be able to smell them, and seek them out eventually? Will it contaminate my water? I have a 70g tank, and I do keep a close watch on water parameters. Please let me know!
 
they won't harm the tank but they will multiply and become part of the tanks clean up crew.
