Don't Eat Armadillo's

[troutfiend1985]

Not that I have ever wanted to eat the darned things. But apparently they have been linked to leprosy. So, the next time you have wild hair, don’t eat an armadillo. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42788111/ns/health-infectious_diseases/?gt1=43001

Uh oh!!!

Too late.

They still make suitable helmets though, right?

Does that mean you're a lepor? Or are you saying you ate an armidillo?

Yes

I can remember seeing baskets made from them when I was a kid.

I was watching a wildlife show a few days ago and they said that either the Armadillo or opossums can carry tuberculosis, I can't remember which it was..

Both can technically carry TB, but armadillos are the higher risk, I think. I did, however, watch someone eat a barbequed armadillo on the half-shell (somewhere in south america) on the travel channel just a few days ago- can't remember if it was Anthony Bourdain or Andrew Zimmern. Anyways- I don't think it's worth the trouble to make that exotic meal myself.

Don't eat opossums either....and to be safe, stay away from eating skunks, though I've heard they taste like chicken...

Don't eat opossums either

What? No more of granny's 'possum stew?

Jed move away from here.

I've eaten possum, but I wouldn't say it was good, too greasy. I've also eaten coons and groundhogs, and while both of them are fatty, they aren't to the degree possum is. Actually groundhog is pretty good, but it's the only herbivore in the bunch.
