BEIJING (Reuters) - A man in southeast China says 40 years of
swallowing tree frogs and rats live has helped him avoid intestinal
complaints and made him strong.
Jiang Musheng, a 66-year-old resident of Jiangxi province, suffered
from frequent abdominal pains and coughing 20 years ago, until an
old man called Yang Dingcai suggested tree frogs as a remedy, the
Beijing News said on Tuesday.
"At first, Jiang Musheng did not dare to eat a live, wriggling
frog, but after seeing Yang Dingcai swallow one, he ate ... two
without a thought," the paper said.
"After a month of eating live frogs, his stomach pains and coughing
were completely gone."
Over the years Jiang had added live mice, baby rats and green frogs
to his diet, and had once eaten 20 mice in a single day, the paper
said.
