Stagnant Water
Any pool of stagnant water, or even an area of slow-flowing water, attracts innumerable insects wishing to breed. Top among these are mosquitoes, which are well-known for transmitting serious diseases, such as malaria, dengue and West Nile virus.
Skip the standing water, then, and soldier on until you find a more reliable source of water, like a running stream.
Some of these may be common knowledge for you, but others I had never considered! I had no idea that holly leaves could be medicinal while the berries so toxic! For more information on all the goodies you should avoid eating in the wild, check out How Stuff Works!

Laurie Milligan, documented proof ,leave them alone!!
I would never eat a bat! Shrooms, well?!
GRANDPA!!!!?
They serve lionfish in restaurants. Just remove venomous spines
I’d avoid opossums and skunks as well.
hey you can put them in your spaghetti!!!
also this is another good sight!
These are all a pretty much given.
Armadillos carry leprosy.
They,re Gross.
Never heard that one! I,d like to hear more on this.
I’m not an expert, I’d recommend google and find a site that is 🙂
No possum?? Your not from the south are ya?
I lived in Florida for 14 years ,but I never would eat a opossum or a armadillo.:)
Gator is good though.
I have tried possum once..little on the greasy side..probably wouldn’t do it again!
I would imagine that they’re full of disease since they eat dead animals.
Next page,next page,next page. I have books to read. If you want me to read your articles, put them on one page!
Wild corn dogs are awful as well
It would be more helpful to post pictures of the plants. Just sayin.
These all should be common sense. Sometimes you just gotta let the stupid ones weed themselves out.
Consider getting some pics to go along with the plants, please
3 Amigos enjoyed their bat
For once , why don’t you a ~holes just post the advice,instead of the B.S. reloading of page’s? TO MUCH B.S. TO READ THROUGH!
I love a spot of hemlock tea! Lol
“NO one should NEVER eat”, because we’re Russian, and we love double negatives.
I would add snails and frogs.
Well, it’s their own website and they need lots of visitors in there.
eat my$#%&!@*you$#%&!@*lire telling all the good people all the lies
I’m eating bat right now
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.
I would eat bugs before I would even concider a bat or even a rat! And bugs are at the bottom of my list!
