    Default Stay away from Possum poop if you eat one!

    I ran into this and wanted to warn you guys about eating possums, you know who you are! Supposedly possum poo has some deadly stuff in it that can give you a serious infection! I just don't want any of my possum eating friends to get deathly sick, so either quit eating them, or stay away from the poo!

    Possum feaces contains bacteria that could cause flesh-eating ulcers in humans, scientists have warned.
    The buruli ulcer is described by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as being a “chronic debilitating skin and soft tissue infection that can lead to permanent disfigurement and disability”.

    if a possum wizzes on a horses hay it can cause the horse to get sick and possibly cause death. Of course the horse will have to ingest the hay.
    so the definition of a criminal is someone who breaks the law and you want me to believe that somehow more laws make less criminals?

    Most of us possum eaters do manage to remove the insides when we dress them out.

    Only a Yankee would try to eat one poo and all!
    If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?

    When I was a kid, I saw folks trap them and keep them in a cage for about a week.
    They would feed them table scraps to cleanse their digestive systems, then carefully clean them.
    Boiled in water (3 times with fresh water each time), pick the meat from the bone, then put BBQ sauce on it in a pan and cook in an oven.
    Was OK, but a little greasy...
    When all else fails, read the directions, and beware the Chihuahuacabra!

    There are a lot of people around here that will eat them. I've literally seen a guy pull one out of a dead cows belly, whoop it in the head with a machete, threw it in the be of the truck and next day, come back with some left overs asking if I'd try some. Noooo thanks. Coons are good and tasty when cleaned and prepared right but a mammal that is a twin of a bustard. No thanks.

    some places possums are called grinners.
