Yes Jose,
There is a problem with wild armadillos, just like there is with oysters- or
any natural food, at the wrong time and place.

and oysters sometimes carry the Vibrio vulnificus bacteria, even more scary
than Leprosy.

I still eat oysters raw, but only if I shuck them myself- from preferred
locations during "R" months.
Only fry the ones from a "processed jar", as just one bad one can
contaminate, and you can't tell.
As with any food, make sure it's fresh! Chef Gordon Ramsay says: "Look at
it!"
Selection is the key; as my old boss used to say:
"That's why I only feed young, healthy ones (cooked on the half-shell) to my
family".
Bob "sorta puts a damper on Sushi, eh?" Opersteny
P.S. Extra Tabasco or vinegar-ized chile sauce of your choice, lime juice,
and Tequila Shots can help "sterilize" too!

Hey Chileheads,
I wouldn't butcher an armadillo without a hazmat suit.
