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

Lion Fish

Some 200 lionfish were tested in 2010 by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) after the NOAA issued its proclamation, and more than 25 percent were found to have unsafe levels of a toxin that can cause ciguatera, a fish-based food poisoning. If you nosh on lionfish, you risk not only the typical food poisoning symptoms (diarrhea, vomiting, fatigue), but also neurological problems. The latter includes tingling in the hands and feet, the feeling that your teeth are loose and a reversed sense of temperature.

Bats

Bats host more viruses than any other mammal on Earth. In fact, it's believed that the Ebola outbreak of 2014 came from bats in West Africa. The real danger is not so much from eating bats but from being bitten or scratched by them during hunting or from coming in contact with their bodily fluids during cooking and preparation.

If you happen to starving in the wild, eating a bat may seem like an excellent meal, but unfortunately, the consequences could be deadly. Who wants to get a virus from a bat?!

The same goes for a lion fish. Food poisoning isn't going to help a survivalist who is trying to survive through a SHTF situation, so it's best to stick with safe food such as a rabbit, deer, or another animal you can hopefully catch with a trap. There's always hardtack and beef jerky if you have some on hand!

After the break, discover yet another thing that's vital for a person to stay away from.

Continue to remember what animals and other things can harm a person post-collapse and you'll stay healthier and stronger because of it!

    These all should be common sense. Sometimes you just gotta let the stupid ones weed themselves out.

    “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.
