    It doesn't matter, insects have the most genetically different proteins from humans, so they have minimal impact on people and are protein-rich.

    When I was a child, I used to eat dragonflies, praying mantises, and locusts, and the locusts in autumn are especially fragrant, and they taste the same as egg yolks.

    Matter. Any animal has parasitic bacteria or viruses.

    Even we humans are like this, we have a large number of viruses and bacteria in our bodies that live in symbiosis with us for a long time. It's just that we have developed immunity to them in the long-term evolutionary process, so that these viruses or bacteria have reached a state of symbiosis and coexistence with humans. But these viruses may not be so generous to creatures other than humans, or even to humans who have never been exposed to similar viruses or bacteria.

    Therefore, after the Spanish entered the American continent, the number of Indians decreased sharply, in fact, this is also the reason.

    In the same way, when animals come into contact with humans, they will also transmit their viruses or bacteria and even parasites to humans, those dogs and cats, you can often see bad news about them, and wild animals such as pangolins and civets can be infected with some strange diseases. In fact, it's because of this.

    Of course, humans have lived together with dogs and cats for tens of millions or even hundreds of thousands of years, and similarly, human consumption of pork, beef, chicken, duck, these problems are not big, because long-term coexistence has led to these similar parasitic or symbiotic bacteria and viruses in our body. If you eat food with E. coli exceeding the standard, it is at most diarrhea. If it's not too serious, it doesn't even have any reaction.

    But ants can't.

    This kind of thing is not on the human diet in the first place, please don't take risks for the sake of appetite, it's not worth it. What's more, ants don't have much taste at all. If it is only for medicinal value, it is better to wait for the drugs in it to be refined and used after being made into medicines.

I think you may be excluded because you are an "outsider", and it is possible that your "outsider" will interfere with other people's interests, after all, the eyes of the public are bright, and if the leader wants to favor or something, it is not easy to do things with you, an "outsider".
