Virus may have started from eating a animal that looks similar to a Armadillo?
Masks do little to prevent getting the virus.

I used to able to purchase cleaned and de-shelled Crawdad meat up north for way cheap. ($4.99/lb.?) No one appeared to know what it was. Sautee'd in Butter with garlic, salt/pepper, over linguine, parmesian/romano cheese. Exquisite.
They sadly do not seem to have it around here, nor is any good fresh seafood available.
But, I do not currently have the, "I ate something resembling an Armadillo, virus."

When I were a poor boy back in the Bitteroot Valley of Western Montana, I moved sprinkler pipe for a local cattle rancher. On one of the pastures there was a pond that was teeming with crawdads. Brought home hundreds of them over the summer. Always enjoyed the little critters. IIRC we just boiled them and served them with a little garlic butter. 0 -
I used to use a hand seine for catching crawdads when I was youngster that I used for bait on my trotlines. It belonged to my grandpa and it was made from what I believe was a hickory sapling that was bent into a loop with wire mesh stretched across it. The open ends of the loop had a wooden handle that tied the two together. You used it like a large scoop in a creek. It had sheet metal across the front section to keep the rocks from wearing out the wood loop. Sometimes I would get a surprise by scooping up a snake.
Then there were times when several of us would catch crawdads together for our trot lines. There was a section of Swan Pond Creek in Knox County, TN near where I lived that narrowed down to about 12 feet wide and got swift where we would put a net across it and anchor it in the ground on each side of the creek. Then 2 or 3 of us boys would walk down the creek kicking up rocks where the current would pick the crawdads up and wash them down the creek into the net. We would catch hundreds of crawdads like that a couple of times a year.0 -
I've also trapped and eat crawdaddy tails.
I never got hungry enough to try a Armadillo. Heard a rumor they might cause scurvy in Texas.
Figured if them Armidallo's hurt a hungry, drunk Texan, it might really hurt a sober Okie.0 -
I don't know about scurvy, but they do carry leprosy. Guess somebody is trying to tell us something about eating armadillo and their cousins. BobOkie743 said:I've also trapped and eat crawdaddy tails.

Possum on the half shell! 0 -
I have actually eaten armadillo. The Nine-banded type, not Pangolin. Texture like pork, taste a bit like the dirt they live in. Once was enough. 0 -

Armadillo is the only other mammal besides Humans to carry leprosy.... nasty creatures. 0 -
Pangolins don't look like armadillos to me. They have rather large scale-like plates all over, and no shell like an armadillo. Unfortunately if Asians continue eating bushmeat, they will likely continue spawning new diseases.
Armadillos do carry Hanson's disease (leprosy), but do not transmit it to humans.
