I realize BC is a bit South of me, but these are a staple in the Pacific NW. Out in the wilderness, that is. I don't know anyone sick enough to eat one.
It's why, even when it gets warm enough outside, you probably don't want to camp outside without at least a tent. Aside from bats (usually small fruitbats), rodents, bugs, etc....you certainly don't want to wake up with one of these on your face. Just trust me on that.
