Processed in DxO and then adjusted to taste in LR, with a the extra Detail just for kicks.
You don't see worms in my files in small jpg images either. The example I shared was at 400% magnification, using settings that I'd never use in real life.
So now you're changing your story, and the Details slider isn't creating the artifacts? Why am I not surprised...
If your image has the demosaicing artifacts, they are visible in a standard LR preview (if you are viewing them on a decent monitor) , and are plainly visible at 100%. Your image also has to be in sharp focus in order for the demosaicing artifacts to appear, which probably explains why you're not seeing them...
Hmmm... very ugly viewed at 400%, but still no worms with the Detail slider set to 100. What ridiculous excuse will Dan concoct next? 
Good lord, that is awful. Do you always over sharpen like this!?
On the other hand, this does point out yet another thing that lots of folks fail to understand about sharpening: Settings that create artifacts at high magnification settings are often the _better_ settings for your final output.
I first learned this when I became aware of the role of dot gain in ink jet printing and learned that slightly over-sharpening images after resizing and flattening for printing would result in the sharpest prints... from images that look slightly crunchy on the screen.
There's so much energy behind the worms belief system at this point, that arguing with folks about it seems pointless. The wild variety of the counter "argument" is evidence enough — apparently my demo images are both too sharp and too soft, and there are terrible awful worms in them.
I have to wonder if some of you actually ever go beyond looking for "proof" of problems in image files to actually making photographs...
