Can you get sick from eating aphids?

Answer 1

No, not at all. If there are a lot of them you may taste them, but you will never taste just a few. They are a hearty source of protein so will actually be beneficial to you. Do you know that in all frozen and dehydrated food you are eating bugs any way, you just don't know. The average person in the west eats around a pound of bugs every year, they just do not realise it. Other cultures value bugs of all types as part of local cuisine. They are the smart ones, more protein per pound than any 'meat' we eat.
