I think it's like Karen says, they just eat too many. There was a guy, I think in Indiana, who got a recipe to cook cicadas (don't remember if they were fried or grilled or baked or whatever) but he cooked some up and ate too many and made himself sick. So I don't think they're like a rat that carries disease or anything like that, they must just be good eatin'! yeah, sure, Debbie, good eatin' uh huh, yep, that's what it is...EEEEEWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!
