First there was a CD, now there's a cookbook. Nothing good can come from this, but at least we were all warned.
"A man who cooked and ate nearly 30 cicadas sought medical treatment after suffering a strong allergic reaction to the sauteed insects.
"The man showed up at a Bloomington clinic Thursday covered from head-to-toe in hives, and sheepishly told a doctor he'd caught and ate the cicadas after sauteing them in butter with crushed garlic and basil.
"'He said they didn't taste too bad, but his wife didn't care for the aroma,' said Dr. Al Ripani, the doctor who treated the man at Promptcare East.
"The man, who has a history of asthma and shellfish allergies, suffered a 'significant allergic reaction,' after eating the cicadas, Ripani said."
