I’m happy I refused to try when I was there. My SO tried a scorpion though

BTW, is there a way to test for these parasites (the rest-of-body kind mentioned in Table 1 [0])?

Weren't the crickets prepared? E.g., roasted?

Chapulines are not eaten raw, like most bugs they're fried or toasted in a pan or comal, but the study shows that parasites may survive that.

The study clearly says that cooking them significantly improves the safety, what’s your source?

It’s right there in the document, assuming that the comma here was a typo:

> Despite, food preparation processes parasite allergens may still be detected.
