We're getting more of those possums on the half shell around here and I've heard about eating them for years. Read somewhere that they are carriers of TB though. I reckon you'd need to clean them with gloves and make sure they're cooked well done?
4. Do armadillos carry diseases, such as leprosy?
Wild armadillos have been known to be infected with the bacterium that causes leprosy (Hansen’s disease). The only cases of transmission from armadillos to humans have occurred in rare incidents in which people ate undercooked armadillo meat. If you have a pet (such as a dog, cat, or two-year old) that has recently interacted with an armadillo, you needn't worry about the danger of your pet becoming infected. So long as your dog, cat, or two-year old hasn't been dining on armadillo sushi, you have little cause for concern. Even if your pet does bite an armadillo, the risk of infection is quite low. Your pet is much more likely to be in danger of illness do to encounters with raccoons (prone to rabies), other dogs, cats or children than a (mostly) harmless armadillo.
Oh, you're just jealous Mijo... Cause Cubans don't eat what the Meskins do..
.. There ain't no dillos in Cuba, they all got in the raft and left it with Castro.
