Maybe you are. My comment was most flesh eating bacteria. I didn’t pick up on the salt water part.

Dr. would recommend eating raw carrion when non survival is not at issue?

Of course not. I wouldn’t recommend eating steak Tartare either. Or scrapple.

Would you drink a glass of water w Vibrio vulnificus in it or dip an open wound in said water?

I wouldn’t recommend drinking salt water regardless. It’s more likely to be fatal than the vibrio species in it…

Would you routinely sip on said water when alternatives are available?

Again, salt water isn’t good.

The answer to these questions is no.

Nice hedge, “ individually you might experience some issues.” I never said more than that. We evolved eating raw meat. No one would recommend eating carrion now. That was my observation.

Eaten grubs and ants. In jungle warfare school at Ft Sherman, you ate whatever you gathered or the instructors told you too, iguanna was a prize catch. Any complaints about anything, and you got the boot. No sissies in jungle warfare!
Grubs were swallowed whole after biting the head off. Ants, actually have a citrus taste to them, and not unpleasant, like grapefruit. No maggots, but if the instructors gave you a chunk of fish/monkey or any other meat with them in it, you bet your ass it would have been cooked and eaten as is, or you fail.

Another thing I hate shanks, is so much animal feed coming with anti-biotics in them. It just compounds the issues you mentioned like anti-bacterial soap, it is just everywhere.
