After that comment, I think it's going to be a while until I have another Big Mac. :-
That sounds terrible.
If I ate meat I would try cobra and tarantula! I would totally try all those crazy things! That photo above is so appealing to me. They're so fiercely in their own element. LOVE IT
So true RB, those parasites are no laughing matter! I read about a teen who ate a garden slug on a dare, came down with a terrible brain infection, spent 420 days in a coma, and is now paralyzed from the neck down. It was from a lungworm that parasitizes rats, but the slug had eaten rat feces which contained the earlier stage of the lungworm life cycle which can infect humans (are you screaming yet?). So yeah, it is prudent for you to avoid snake dinners :)
Hah hah...I bet it is on the low carb diet. But I'll not be adding that to my diet anytime soon. Especially based on comments from RB and Alan.
