Beetles... that just reminded me of Sky 1's "Fear Factor"... One of the rounds normally has something with a numerical score, which determines the number of LIVE insects they have to eat.

to be honest LTR12101B i think i would rather eat LIVE insects than all the above stuff i mentioned lol

I'm not too terribly concerned about this. Everything you consume has some form of life teeming all over it. In fact you have millions of bacteria, fungi, virii, mites, etc. crawling on your 2 square yards of skin as we speak. It does not matter how much you bathe, some of these critters actually enjoy the soap and hot water and multiply because of it.

Here is a little something from an excellent National Geographic issue a couple of years ago. The author is speaking of what he found on the skin of an average (living) human being.....

"I stepped up to the microscope, and they came into focus, lying crisscross like sticks of wood. The adult mites were about a hundredth of an inch long. Their stumpy little legs wriggled and twitched as in a dream. They had tiny claws and needle-like mouthparts for consuming skin cells. Here and there were eggs shaped like arrowheads and juveniles with angled-back scutes on their underbellies, like fish scales, the better to anchor themselves in my skin. Desch eyed my forehead as if it were the Grand Banks in high season and said, 'I think it’s great.' I smiled wanly."

Just some food for thought.
