Q.Will crushed eggshells harm earthworms?

Your article provides excellent advice on adding eggshells to one’s garden to remove pests – slugs, snails, cutworms, and other crawling pests. Earthworms do crawl, so would they also be affected by crushed eggshells? I don’t want harm coming to the earthworms in my yard.
