Emergency Medical Situations, Wednesday, Period 1

Class met in the Danger Shop today. It was set up to look like a forest. McCoy was chewing on a stalk of grass when the class came in. What a Georgian loser.

"Aren't you glad to get a break from the cold?" It was autumn in the fake moddable forest. Good time for a harvest.

"You might find yourself without food or water for a time. You're going to need to gather, in that case." He handed out a hand-waved sheet listing several edible roots, berries, and leaves.

"The good news is, even if you find something rotten, grubs are a good source of protein. I'm well aware your gag reflex might react, but they can keep you going when you need it most. If you find something fresh and have the time, cook it. Some things are poisonous only when raw. You'll lose some of the water, though."

Also some of the ick. Had anyone ever had raw beets? Yuck.

"Break up into pairs and find at least one source of fresh water, and one meal. You eat some grubs, you get fruit snacks at the end. Anyone touches the nightlock, they get an F." The nightlock stand-in was not actually deadly, but letting them think it was would keep them on their toes.

This? Was not a huge deal. It wasn't like Surreal hadn't eaten bugs before, when there'd been nothing else.

Still, she was going to stick with the mushrooms she knew weren't poisonous unless she couldn't find anything else. Just because she could and would eat them, didn't mean she wanted to do so.
