7 Things You Should Never Ever Eat in the Wild or You’ll Suffer the Consequences

Water Hemlock

Hemlock

The herbaceous plant, which is a member of the parsley family, is a tall biennial with a thick taproot and purple-spotted stems. It produces clusters of small, white flowers. Its leaves are often mistaken for wild parsley and its roots for parsnips.

So what happens if you eat this plant? You'll likely have the typical poisoning symptoms, such as vomiting, weakness and trembling. But hemlock poisoning also depresses the central nervous system and can put you in a coma.

Horse Nettle

Horse nettle fruit is typically yellow or green in color, and shaped like a cherry tomato. It's especially worrisome if someone stumbles upon it in the winter. During that season, the plant itself is dead, yet its fruit often looks appealing and is still quite juicy. But if you pop one in your mouth, you can be in for abdominal pain and breathing difficulties — certainly not anything to mess with.

In addition to plants, there are a few animals that may seem like they're fine to eat during an emergency, but believe it or not, if a person were to eat these animals there could be serious consequences.

Find out which animals a person must avoid after the break on the next slide. One of these animals, in particular, really surprised me!

    “NO one should NEVER eat”, because we’re Russian, and we love double negatives.

    Normally I have a problem or something to add, but not this time. A solid short list. Telling people about the things that will kill them is a good way to make things stick.
