Dig up worms with your hands

I don't know why I can't do this already; if anything I should be able to do this, have my hands dirty, and require that I wash my hands with water/rubbing alcohol lest I eat fruit or meat or something I can get dirty via unwashed hands. I'd like to see it so using a shovel/hoe is much faster, but it would still be an option to use your hands. 

 

I already carry an axe to get firewood/sticks and attack zombies, a pickaxe to mine stones to fix said axe, and a fishing rod for food. Why would I carry a fourth melee item?

Getting your hands dirty is the only way to get worms.

it would make more sense if it took several tries in dry weather, but only one try in rainy weather.

It should take longer and have a lower chance of success though. And might cause sickness if you don't clean your hands afterwards.
