Well I have no idea if it is dangerous or not. I’d have to investigate further.
Even if technically fleas may have spread the disease, they were still located on and being carried by the rats. Hantavirus is a huge dangerous one that rats can spread. There are others too as well as parasitic infections.
Same bacteria produce toxins and even after cooking it, the bacteria are destroyed, but the toxins remain. But it depends on the type of bacteria. It’s how some types of food poisoning works.
But yeah if all of these still mean that rats are safe to eat when cooked thoroughly, I’m on board. I just don’t know enough about cooked rats and quite frankly I don’t feel like investigating more since there is no one selling cooked rats by me lol.

“but I’m still going to publicly share my opinions on it first”
I hate the internet, and yet I can’t seem to stop logging on. FML
I mean, this isn’t a scientific research lab or anything. It’s a casual conversational community lol.
Lol yeah don’t worry too much about it.
Not like this comment was your grand presentation at the International Edible Carrion Science Conference 2025 or something. :p
Oh fuck I forgot about the conference! I’m late!
Oh no! Sorry for holding you up, Doc! :O
