Can rat meat be eaten?
Yes, that's what southerners eat. Just like we eat toads and frogs.

But; Eating this is also quite harmful;

Let me show you a news.

Eating mice raises experts' concerns.

The reporter interviewed the epidemic prevention and control experts in the health department. Experts say that voles and house mice are recognized as ugly animals with the most germs. Many kinds of germs exist not only in saliva, viscera and feces of mice, but also in fur and blood of mice. The germs on mice are characterized by rapid infection and great harm, which may not be killed even after a high temperature of about half an hour. Microbubbles may be cleaner than house mice living in urban garbage dumps and sewers, but they are still mice with more bacteria. If rats are caught and sold in order to make money, and field rats are mixed and slaughtered for diners, it will be difficult for diners to distinguish between true and false. If rats eat harmful substances such as chronic rodenticide and heavy metals, and people happen to eat the meat of such rats, toxic substances, heavy metals and other harmful substances will enter the human body, leading to chronic poisoning. In the process of killing rats, the chef of the rat meat restaurant is in close contact with the fur, feces, internal organs and blood of rats. Rats are also prone to serious diseases. Therefore, from the perspective of health and epidemic prevention, people are not encouraged to eat rats.
