Re: rat pinkies and fertile eggs ~ parasites

Add rabbit to the list...wild anyway. Only hunt them in season for a

reason!

Ummm,. not sure what rat pinkies are... hope they're not what I think they

are, lol.

I would think that lab rats would be fairly parasite-free, if that's what

you're asking??? (eww to the thought of eating live or raw rats, lol)

Parasites in pork (trichinosis) is no longer a concern, since hogs are fed

pig chow these days and not slop and garbage. As for fish, some salmon amd

fresh water fish have worms, but most fish parasites are easily killed by

freezing, so just freeze your fish before eating it raw.

Are you planning to eat cats too?? LOL!

rat pinkies and fertile eggs ~ parasites

I heard rumors that these two foods are good for you raw/live. Anyone know

of any more details?

I suppose the only worry for rats might be parasites. I know there can be

parasites in raw pork, fish, and cats. Are there more to add to the list of

animals possibly containing hazardous parasites?

I don't know about anyone else, but this topic is giving me the

willies. What on earth is a " rat pinky " and why would anyone want to

eat it?

Why would people on this form NOT get the

willies? Are we not allowed to have any

cultural conditioning? I'll pass on the

baby rats too ...
