We’ve been binge watching the survival series “ALONE”. several contestants drop out from constipation when they have to resort to eating bugs and wood fibers.

“...he had “a very large desiccated fecal mass, which encompasses the majority of what would have been the gastrointestinal tract”,

Was he buried in the “fecal position”?

There is a modern name for what this man died from- Toxic Megacolon.
It must’ve been quite painful for him.

Hopefully, the government will include laxatives with our insect rations.

Wow. Thanks for posting that. We will never know if the show would have been accepted or even better if Bruce Lee played Grasshopper. I think it would have been accepted and been really good. Though I think David Carradine brought a sadness to the character. I was never sure if the character was suppose to be part Chinese or a European/American orphan raised in China. Good show.

" Ancient Man Who Died Of Constipation Had Been Eating Grasshoppers For Months"

Wrong preposition. One doesn't die "of" anything but everyone dies "from" something.

It is estimated that 6.5 million people, mostly in Mexico, Central America and South America, have Chagas disease as of 2019. - wikipedia

Something to throw into the mix.

Note to preppers.

Do NOT eat bugs. Or at least lots of them. Find other food sources the human body is designed to digest.

John the Baptist ate locusts and wild honey. Apparently, some insects are good for food, but only if you add in things like wild honey, which contains antioxidants, and is antibacterial. People love shrimp and lobster, and after all, they’re just sea bugs. That said, no thanks. No land bugs for me, if I have a choice.

grasshoppers carry all kinds of nasty parasites- most will be removed with intestines, but still taking a chance-

Everything in moderation. At least he died hoppy.

By the way, “died of” is appropriate, if not preferred.

Additional by the way, we are not insectivores. They may get us along for a little while, but we cannot maintain our health on a primarily insect-based diet.
