The FDA has warned us, “don’t eat cicadas if you’re allergic to seafood as these insects share a family relation to shrimp and lobsters.”
As a fan of the show Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern, I was already aware of this, but in talking to people in the past week, it would seem that I am one of the few people who stored that bit of info away for when the SHTF one day. So now you know.
Yep! We have to say it!
