American squirrel brain

Squirrel brain is a very popular food in the southern United States, especially in rural areas of Kentucky. But the squirrel's brain itself is toxic, and long-term consumption will lead to fatal Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, which is also known as mad cow disease. This disease will form small holes in brain cells, which will lead to mental disorders. In a word, we should try to avoid using any animal's brain.

Korean live octopus

In Korea, live octopus tentacles are considered as a delicious cold dish. Cut it into small pieces, dip it in sesame oil and sesame seeds, put it in your mouth, and you will find it still slipping in your throat, because tentacles have great vitality. But it is easy to suffocate. It is reported that an average of 6 people in Korea suffocate every year because of eating live octopus. The safest way is to chew food 1 times before swallowing it.

African ox-headed frog

There is a reason why the French love to eat it and only eat frog legs: the rest of the frog may be poisonous, especially its skin and viscera. Even so, the whole frog (except some poisonous organs) is considered a delicacy in Namibia. It is said that the toxicity of this frog is eliminated after the mating season, and it can be safely caught as food at this time. If you ingest toxic frog parts or eat them before mating season, you may have temporary renal failure and need immediate medical attention.

Escamos, Mexico

Dormouse is the favorite of the ancient Romans, and Slovenians continue this tradition to this day. Dormice live in tree holes all year round, more like a hybrid of mice and squirrels.
