Frogs and Parasites

Every time I see someone post a video or picture of some false survival hunt for frogs I can't help but cringe. Frogs are known for their role in having a host of buddies that love to tag along with them known as parasites. And well if you have no idea as to how and in what way these little filth magnets carry their friends the parasites stay tuned because your stomach is about to hurl. Female flies lay their eggs on frogs and sometimes on their skin and in their noses. Yup, you heard it, in those small tiny noses of theirs. When they hatch these little critters, these nasty's, eat their way inside them and sometimes their entry point can can be visible, but this is not always the case. And once they begin to flourish while they have feasted some unknown person while hunting them in the dark of night is about to take his hunting tool and pierce one of these disease carriers. And make it his new health problem he will encounter down the road after ingesting these gross creatures for the false idea of, "hey I needed protein." 283 parasitic worms types have been known to infest over 156 types of frogs as was recorded in a study recorded in an article titled, "How many parasites species a frog might have? Determinants of Parasites Diversity in South American Anurans" So the next time someone says, "go get your frog spear and lets catch us some food!" Just tell him, "nah I would prefer to stay healthy and find something that is actually edible, like some berries or pawpaw.

    Avi Ben Shalom:

    ​When I was a young boy, I would gaze at my father with joy, to both learn from him, and become like him. He was indeed a real woodsman going out even for a whole month alone just to be in the wilderness. My fondest memories are of his taking me out into the woods all the time. When he died when I was eight, I had to learn that my life was going to continue being a it once was. Its hard when you have no one to teach you and you are forced to struggle and learn life skills alone. You begin to really feel the void of not having that mentor, that teacher you admire so much, one to lean on. But, I thank God for picking up the place where my father no longer could for truly its His guidance and wisdom and help that made me the Marine I became, the husband and father I am, and continue to seek to mature and grow better at being. As for me learning in such a difficult way I have sincerely seen how important it is to get help and guidance. And for this reason, I have made it my personal ambition to share what I have learned to help others who lack. I want to give what I have received to others because I know that wilderness knowledge, and bushcraft skills are not something any should ever feel they have to pay hundreds of dollars for just to learn those skills. I don't believe any person should be owing to anyone when it comes to the things pertaining to living and survival.
